I used this quote in a recent note where someone (one more time) suggested that a vote be the way we allocate volunteer resources in Sakai (setting me aflame as usual).
I apologize in advance to its somewhat offiensive nature :)
Some in America (myself included) look at "votes" as the mindless polling of poorly educated individuals who have been programmed by watching endless commercials interspersed in between soft-core porn reality shows - so that we can have the perception that there is democracy afoot *somewhere*".
Sorry - that *was* pretty cynical - it is not entirely true - but kind of funny.
