      <![CDATA["Fucking obnoxious review."<br>
<br>
What is obnoxious about writing a thorough review with likes and dislikes, coming from someone who has worked in the industry and been pushing/drinking/brewing craft beer for over a decade? Maybe I should have just used your intelligent review model, and stuck to three sentences and no real content.

      <![CDATA[the not so thinly veiled point of the article is that black people have it easy and that white people have had to shoulder what orlando patterson called "the ordeal of integration." white people are victims. <br>
<br>
this of course is supported by a casual look at life in charleston where black people have segregated themselves in all of the best housing enclaves on the peninsula and along the coast; where their children attend exclusive schools; where black people exercise control authority through their leadership of law firms, local government, the ports authority, boeing, musc, the citadel and college of charleston; where black people eat at pricey downtown restaurants to the almost complete exclusion of white patrons; where expendable white workers fill our local jails.

      <![CDATA[I've participated in the elections where scanned marked paper ballots were used in Florida, under the supervision of a Republican controlled election commission and there was no problem with them. Everyone was satisfied with the new system, which replaced a system similar to ours which was junked after weird results were noted in several elections.

      <![CDATA[Was at Folly Beach a week ago enjoying the food and beverages at FBSC (which is under new management and could use another name) and I can tell you that for all the drinking that is not being done on the beach, patrons of area restaurants are taking up the slack. Everywhere you looked people were crowding into local establishments and even the Crosby's Seafood Friday night "dinner on the dock" had over 100 dinners enjoyed the open air ambiance of eating seafood beside the very fishing boats that caught it while watching a beautiful sunset over the marsh.

      <![CDATA[There is no reason that the electronic voting machines could not be programmed to create a printed copy of the ballot submitted, which then could be verified by the voter and dropped into a sealed box. If there were any questions about the electronic results, the printed ballots, all of which should be readable since they were printed by the machine, could be counted by hand.

      <![CDATA[I've seen scanned paper ballots used in Florida, where they gave up on the touch screen machines after some very questionable election. People marked them in simple, card board table top booths, so time wasn't a huge issue.
