Free desks available TONIGHT
| 
Nov 8 14:30 UTC 2000 |
If you'd like a big old metal desk, and are willing to haul it away
tonight or early tomorrow morning, come to my party tonight at 325 E.
Liberty, 7pm to whenever. These are business office style desks, strong,
solid, and only somewhat beat up. There are SEVEN to choose from.
If you're willing to help MOVE these desks out of the building, even if
you're not interested in taking one home, your presence and assistance
will be greatly appreciated.

If these are real steelcase desks, you do know they come apart *real*
easily, and are designed to be easy to move, right?

Based on descriptions of the pumpkin that I've seen, there's no room for
any non-essential furniture. I would guess that a desk is considered
non-essential.

Grex already has one small steelcase desk, which is quite large enough
for the space.

It turns out that the desks will be available for a couple more days.
Contact me IMMEDIATELY if you have any interest.
Not all of them are as old and heavy as a battleship. Some of them
are smaller and newer and have drawers only on one side of the kneehole.

I also used to think the electoral college was an anachronim from a bygone
era. Now I understand it to be a tool that prevents the large states from
forcing their rule on the small states.
It is a good thing.

Now, do you agree just because it is the only thing that might get
Bush elected - or do you think it is a good thing in principle? 8^}
Would you still think that if the college voted for Gore on the
basis of the popular vote? They can, you know.

Can they? I thought that in most states electors were required
to vote for the candidates that they were electors for.

It varies from state to state. Look up "faithless elector" on
Google.

I dropped by 325 E. Liberty about 9:30p last night. Evidently the 7 - ?
event had fizzled out long before. 325 E. Liberty turns out to be a
house surrounded by apartment buildings, office buildings, and one other
house. Presumably it normally houses lawyers, although it could also be
used as a very small retail space. It looked pretty empty inside when I
saw it, although there was a white board visible through the front door
that had "Vote Today" written upon it, there was a pile of candidate
signs on the porch, and I think I saw the democratic van was parked just
outside, plastered with slogans.
