What's your take on this situation, then:
BOSS: Get in that booth and vote Kennedy or I'll fire you. Take this expensive camera with you so you can't pull any funny business.
I have no problem with this free choice contract.
You can't sell your vote for the same reason that Djinni don't grant wishes for "more wishes".
You, in the rest of your comments, show yourself to be one of the many tens of millions who probably need to be sent up the chimneys for their crimes.
Liberty's a mental chore, isn't it?
Maybe I just don't understand Liberty. I need to meditate on it for a while. I'll use your image of tens of millions of "criminals" going up in smoke (myself included) as a starting point. PS: Is support of vote buying consistent with rejection of Democracy?
