This country is going to pot. For one thing, US citizens that have a felony conviction cannot vote period, among other things, like legally owning a gun and in possession of ammo. Illegals commit a felony while trespassing into the US and most of them commit more felonies(theft, rape, et.al.) while in transit once their trespass is successful. So allowing illegals to vote is a spit in the face of the entire due process of law not even mentioning the US constitution.
But then again, what politician follows the laws?
But then again, what politician follows the laws?
Illegals fail on at least two counts of eligilibility to legally vote: citizenship requirements and residency, let alone criminal background!

Who may register to vote?
You can register to vote if you are:
•A U.S. Citizen
•A resident of California
•At least 18 years of age on or before the next election
•Not in prison or on parole for a felony conviction
•Not declared mentally incompetent by court action
This is not a biased view, but law.
As a bonus, you might want to carefully review the qualifications in order to be CONSIDERED to be the President of the United States. A real eye opener.
No spin, no bias, just the facts.

You'd better believe that if I were a moderator around these parts, I'd take the off-topic discussion between Meditank and zengrifter, split it off of this thread, and stick it in the Zen Zone. In fact, I'd be very aggressive about curtailing zengrifter's many diversions into conspiracy theory, mysticism, politics, and links to articles about himself by splitting them out of threads and sticking them in the Zen Zone. This kind of adherence to organization and topical awareness would certainly do a lot to promote elevated discussion about blackjack here at BlackjackInfo.
Thanks for plugging THE ZEN ZONE! zg
Yes, that is exactly the sentiment I was trying to convey. I’m glad that someone caught the true meaning of my post.
I guess you’re right. In that case, maybe I should throw my hat in the ring as a moderator candidate. If I’m going to be logged in every day I might as well do a little housekeeping while I’m here. I have a long history with this website (as well as others) and people seem to trust and respect me. We’ll have to see what Ken has to say.

Have a felony on our record do we?
I wouldn't want craps master on this board. The board would permanently turn into nothing but attacks and accusations. Everything would have to pass his/her standards and if it didn't it would immediately get shotdown by CM.
CM should stick to bingo (can you smell the irony?).
