Here's the complaint and decision on my time out on the General Discussion Primary thread:
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This poster has been advocating for voting against the presumptive democratic presidential candidate throughout this thread.

This is apparently the issue the Clinton supporters, even of the "lesser of two evils" variety, use as a backstop.

This is what LA sent me in response to this Question about the 24% of voters who are registered No Party Preference.
Question: If you registered with no party preference and If you vote by mail, AND you did not return the postcard to select a party ballot - can you bring the ballot you got and exchange it for a DEM party on and vote for Bernie Sanders at your voting precinct?. What else would a voter need to do?
LA County RESPONSE
Thank you for contacting us with your inquiry. Yes, nonpartisan voters may surrender their mailed nonpartisan ballots at the polls, in exchange for a crossover precinct ballot. Please note, these voters may still submit a request to have the crossover ballot mailed to them instead, if they wish. The last day to submit a request is May 31, 2016. The form is available on the crossover voting page of our website at: https://www.lavote.net/home/voting-elections/voting-options/crossover-vo... (see item #4 under "What To Do Next").

I usually create 5-6 resilience posts per week. During Summer Loafers it will be 2-3 (brief) posts per week.
On that theme then, here is another bit of Wendell Berry's practical wisdom: his 9 rules for consumption. I had posted his 9 rules for replacing an older technology and have appended it to this post. More below.
But I'll vote for him anyway. At least Bernie's a move in the right direction.
There is a Science Man notion, that has been around for about a hundred years or so, and that is known as Dollo's law, for the fellow who propounded it—Louis Dollo, a Belgian miner, who liked to build dinosaurs. And Dollo's law, it is this: "evolution is not reversible."
From 60 Minutes' Morley Safer dies at 84
Morley Safer, the CBS newsman who changed war reporting forever when he showed U.S. Marines burning the huts of Vietnamese villagers and went on to become the iconic 60 Minutes correspondent whose stylish stories on America's most-watched news program made him one of television's most enduring stars, died today in Manhattan.
