William Poundstone says our voting system is the worst of all possibilities. I had been a fan of the instant runoff, but this interview has persuaded me that approval voting may be better. Either one is an improvement over the current system.
And, in case you didn't already know, touch-screen voting is risky at best.
If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
