Is vote by mail "democracy"? Isn't "democracy" just 50.1% of the mob imposing itself on the other 49.9%? Isn't that why any way to rig elections, fake votes, "automatic registration", just more ways to improve on Mayor Daleys motto "Vote early, and often"?

    There is NO such thing as "voter suppression" unless you consider left wing cheating or the prohibiting of self sufficiency we find as a result of living in the cities.
    Voting was meant to be a physical act, inconvenient so as to show one really cares and is invested in the country.

    A few,.. fill in the dots and a long walk to your mail box is not enough to show you are invested in liberty and freedom...in my opinion.

    The left needs a wider range and opportunity for fraud.

    They also want to eliminate the Electoral College.

    Your Q.
    1. No.
    2. I think not. (Tho' the statins situation suggest otherwise)
    3. Generally yes. But there was Thalidomide ~40 years ago, big payouts.
    4. The current support for compulsion is mainly do-goodism, and there is always the steady work for the medics.
    There may be a case for compulsion, I do not see it, yet anyway.

    Is this more an issue of government not wanting to pay for treatment of the un-vaccinated if they contract the disease? Or is it a case of government controlled by Big Pharma and protecting its profits regardless of the value of the vaccination products in preventing disease without side effects?
    Are Pharma companies protected from lawsuit (for damages by vaccination) by Australian law as they are in the US?
    Based on my reading there are significant questions about the benefits and side effects of some of the required vaccinations. If such questions are valid, I can't see any rational support for compulsion. It appears that the parents have a vested interest in the health of their children. Government interests are not so clear to me.

    The article exagerates, but yes, still dictatorial.

    By the way, question-
    On this particular topic, what sort of evidence, if any, could be strong enough to require compulsion?
    A certain bequest may -like to see a proposal for an erudite and publishable study on this question- etc. Any ideas?

    All of the above? Government at it's liberal best? Just some big a hole in charge? So many choices, so little logic...

    A story from NSW, Australia
    A government agency ran a ferry service.

    When the time came for a new ferry, a bright spark suggested that the public be asked to name the new boat.
    "We are a public service after all... blah blah."
    Voting was organized.
    There was a clear winner, the public wanted the name to be: Boatie McBoat Face.
    The agency did not accept that result.

    Question, something went wrong, was it-
    -Not accepting the result
    -Putting the question to a vote in the first place
    -Democracy has its place but not that place
    -Employing idiots
    - ..etc .. .. ?

    A continuation of an insidious effort. I hope once the dust settles this year, vote by mail is outlawed, and we go back to one man one vote system.

    Anything that spreads voting to more ignorant people is a fatal error for America.
