Osborne Ink - I think that's a great idea! It's true, we live in a "macaca moment" world now, where absolutely ANYbody at absolutely ANY time can get caught on video. I hadn't thought about the "Little Brother" aspect until I wrote this, but, like I said, I think you have a great idea. Michale - Thanks for the warning.

I think we use a touch screen down here in Florida, so I'll be bringing my digital camera to record my vote. And to prove to all you yahoos that I did, indeed, vote for Obama. :D @CW The site is wanky again!!! :D Michale..... I'll probably be going out today or tomorrow to vote..

Another reason to vote early! (And vote often :) ) I voted early yesterday and was pleased that early votes in Ohio are cast on paper ballots.

We have all seen how the hysterical Left goes about reporting the "news". I can't tell you how many people swore up and down that they "saw" and "heard" the video where someone yelled "KILL HIM" at a Palin rally. Yet, not ONE SINGLE PERSON could produce that video and a USSS investigation proved that there was NO evidence (IE no video) to support the claim.. So, given the propensity for the hysterical Left (and the hysterical Right) to simply make stuff up, what's to prevent this from happening with these videos??

It would feature user-generated content of government corruption, police brutality, and corporate malfeasance caught on video. This is the flip side of the surveillance society: now we all have the power to put Big Brother on camera!
