Some have said that the destruction of the Diebold voting machines by voters on Election day would be simple acts of vandalism, not acts of patriotism or high ethical virtue, asa I have argued. What do you think? Should angry voters across the nation band together on election day, scheming of how to wreak destruction on these machines? The argument for the Boston Tea Party was taxation without representation. Is that a valid argument, in this case, for the destruction of property again, 230 years later? Certainly the ruse of representation was proffered by England, much as it is to us in the form of these machines. Yet the founding fathers rejected their overtures for modest or specious representation, for a true democratic republic. Ought we do the same?
