     You might have some problems installing Adobe Flash Player in order to watch YouTube clips and such. I’ve read that there is a Linux-compatible Flash player called Gnash out there. I’ve also heard that HTML 5 will incorporate a <video> element, such that browsers will be able to play clips without needing a plugin^[1].

     I’d be happier with non-partisan voter registration and ballot listings for candidates. Doing things like that,

     • you wouldn’t “need” primaries, open or closed, as “we need them today.”
     • all candidates would face the same ballot-access requirements.
     • political parties would simply be private clubs of individuals freely associating together.

     Other things I’d like to see –

     • Initiative and referendum, as you’ve pointed out before. Add recall to the mix for grins and giggles.
     • None of the Above (NOTA) – I think that there are quite a few races here in New Mexico where NOTA would carry the day.
     • All elections, including ballot questions, bond issues, etc., should have some sort of quorum requirement (at least 50 percent of the registered electorate) – if the quorum requirement isn’t met, then it doesn’t matter if 100 percent of those who show up vote “YES” or for one candidate, no dice, it doesn’t pass, the candidate doesn’t win.

     This assumes that the Secret Service people actually allow you to enter the elevator while Obama is inside.

     Very true and very quotable.

     Thanks, Allen!

     This sounds like a case right up the alley of the Institute for Justice – they could hit it from the private property rights angle (see here), as well as the economic liberty side (see here).
