    I'm not saying the kids are an excuse not to vote. But someone does need to watch them, at least until a certain age, and that's not always easy to do. You could take them with you (and I have done that) but if you need to wait a couple of hours to vote, that's not an easy thing either. Absolutely I'm voting to

    No, it's not as near impossible for some as it would be for others. That's true. But it's not always easy either. Maybe you can afford a babysitter, but what if you can't find one? My point is more that voting should be easier, and not everyone has opportunities like mail-in ballots. I wish we did.

    Okay. Then what I'd like to see is indeed more opportunities to make voting easier for everyone. And if voting is as important as so many people say it is, I don't think a holiday would be a bad thing, necessarily.

    Hey, I didn't make the law. I'm just saying. I think it's great AZ has early voting like that, I wish every place did. I can't help it my state doesn't. And we're not the only ones.

    I was referring to early voting, or more specifically, the statement that "people have plenty of opportunity to vote if they want it." I don't have "plenty" of chances — I have to vote at my polling place on election day (unless I will be out of state at the time) during the stated polling hours. I personally have a

    Not sure either, but the US doesn't have as many federal holidays as a lot of other countries, I think. They are hard to come by and harder to get new ones.

    It might be, but that's the situation we have to deal with right now.

    As I said above, not everyone does. Not in my state, for example.

    I'm in Pennsylvania, which does not have early voting, or mail-in. To vote by mail, one must in fact be an absentee. My kids' school is a polling place, so they will be off on Election Day (and the day before; both days are for parent-teacher conferences). I'm lucky in the sense that I do not work outside the house,

    I just saw this episode last night — been catching up on stuff — and though it was better than usual. Now, maybe that's because it's been months since we've watched on a regular basis, but I did think it was good. The opening scenes at the church were well-done. When the parishioners started bleeding, I actually

    There is more related to Cloverfield in 10CL, but I don't want to spoil it for you. 10CL is a fun movie, so hope you enjoy.

    Or, in many cases, why is the Bad Thing not entirely destroyed? Why are so many things hidden and then protected for centuries by Secret Groups? If they're so damn dangerous, destroy them. and be done with it. (And then you can release the plague.)

    This is true. I read Inferno, knowing it would be bad, and it was. But yes, you have to give Brown some credit for his stories in that they are page-turners.

    I could be wrong but that may be the worst of his novels, or at least the ones I've read (and I think I've read most, but I'm not sure why). When the code-crackers at the NSA can't tell that two entities with the same letters in their name, just arranged differently, aren't the same entity… ugh.

    It's used in everything. Saw it in Fear the Walking Dead. It's in Grease. It's in the end credits of Buckaroo Banzai. I think it's in In Time, if I recall. I'm sure there are plenty more.

    He should be the director, or associate director of SHIELD who is then revealed to be the power behind the Watchdogs.

    Parker was no great shakes either.

    Very good points. :)

    Sure, Negan's going to argue for lots of trials, because he enjoys it. ;) No, I see your point. I just felt it was overdone, I guess, although on the whole I enjoyed the episode.

    I have seen it mentioned a few times over the course of the series, and you can definitely make an argument for it. Be a depressing argument, I guess, but it could be made.
