Poor Pat McCrory doesn't even understand the fundamentals of democracy. Beautifully done.

Voting is a right, buying wine a privilege; don't confuse them.

Do good. Be nice. Have fun.

Gratz on the double dose

Your "Voting is a right, buying wine a privilege; don't confuse them" title was a masterfully-worded and insightful way to frame the issue.

Here's mine from the Herald Sun:

There's nothing wrong with your right to vote

As a recent graduate of North Carolina State University, who proudly cast his first vote at nearby Pullen Park, I worry for the class of freshmen who will be entering the university this fall. Not only will they be attending a university facing sharp budget cuts, they will also be facing sharp cuts to their right to vote.
