How many stoplights? How many intersections? How much traffic is typical? How much of the trip is surface streets? What is the speed limit of those streets? Since we’re talking about buses, how many stops?
I’ve never met anyone thinks 1 min per mile is a sane way to estimate time for a road trip. That’s a great way to vastly underestimate trip length and end up late.
Probably true. Just barely smart enough to kick your sorry ass for thirty pages. Which, admittedly, don’t take much.
So, being the poltroonish snake I am, I’m going to insist we not postulate that an applicant would travel between Sauk City and Madison in two legs, first by ground vehicle and then by retired military spy plane, and thus the common convention of 1 minute per 1 mile is an inappropriate one when used to describe travel time for the actual modes of transportation available to said applicant via the actual byways between the two rough geographical locations.
Imma let you finish, but first I gotta say that Sauk City residents are the mostest aware of other cities people in history! So no, I must firmly disagree that a normal, ordinary person would assume Sauk City residents are unaware of alternative facilities.
In my experience most people who are dependent on other drivers and/or public transportation aren’t so sanguine about “a mere 20 miles”, and those who can’t or won’t imagine what such dependence is like aren’t really great spokespersons for the hypothetical “reasonable opinion” on this. I further expect that any reasonable opinion-formers would take away from the paragraph the impression that Sauk City residents don’t actually have a viable option in their own neighborhood and will have to go elsewhere to get their ID, entailing the kind of time off from work and transportation expense we’ve been citing throughout this thread. In other words, that this is an appreciable hurdle in the process of participatory democracy.
Then by all means, try to push a law through to keep him from voting. As is your wont.
Well, that doesn’t say anything nice about your right to vote either.
No, not even a nice try. We did the political compass threads here, which breaks out issue by issue, and the board averaged much more left than the general public. Sorry, Pauline Kael.
The intention behind them is irrelevant. If a law is supported by valid neutral justifications, those justifications cannot be disregarded simply because partisan interests may have provided one motivation for the votes of individual legislators.
No one has to walk. There’s a bus line, and there’s a local ID office open one day most months. That’s sufficient.
Not even a day.
Ok. WILL take longer. And?
I am smart enough to have a photo ID.
And yet quite clearly a functional retard.
The Dunning-Kroger Effect in action.
What does that have to do with the high-speed capabilities of 'Luci’s bicycle?
Keep fuckin’ that chicken, Bricker. KFTC.
Is that your new signature?
A voting citizen with a photo ID, whose desired policies are in effect even as we speak. Pretty good for a functional retard.
And do you represent the intelligentsia? Smugly convinced of your superior position, and all your clustered buddies agree with you… except for the fact that your desired policy is NOT in effect.
You know what? I’m okay with this. You can be the brilliant one, and I will be the functional retard. I’ll even undertake drooling once in a while.
Just as long as my desired laws stay in effect. That’s a trade I am thrilled to make.
If Tom Paine were alive, he’d kick you in the nuts.
You aren’t a retard. You’re just amoral and a terrible person. Your parents failed utterly to craft a decent person in you. I hope it was just a fluke of genetics and not a shitty job on their part.
I don’t think you understand the concept of smug.
If raping your children was suddenly legal, it wouldn’t be something good people would be thrilled about.
Currently legal and *right *should overlap, but sometimes evil men get in power and push laws that aren’t right. And sometimes, craven lickspittles like you cheer them for it.
If Ben Franklin were alive he’d cuff Bricker in the head with his cane and seduce his wife by knotting a thick calf under his leggings.
Oh, I declare… I must take the air…
Still, such unabashed and crystalline cynicism is refreshing, in a cold and morbid sort of way.
I imagine that happens sometimes, but not this time. This time, legal and right are neatly in sync.
No. Paine is probably the best advocate for your side among the Founding Fathers, and even he would agree that Voter ID in this circumstance is wise.
He would take me to task for crowing about the law as evidence of what’s right, though. What do I care? Fuck him. Fuck his agrarian justice, too.
If Ben Franklin were alive he would start up a privatized ID business, get it approved by the various States, and make a killing.
In the last Presidential election, $15 per vote was spent I believe. It would be an even better investment to spend money on getting all of those supposedly solid Democratic voters some ID and to the polls.
