Sometimes I don't know if people are trolling or not

Amtrak dramatically changed its policies on unaccompanied minors, Lenore Skenazy talked about it in an editorial (and on FRK), and she got a reply back that reads, basically:

"I went on a train once, and OMG it was a train! People get on and off! So it's totally not safe for kids, and I don't know why on earth terrorists haven't attacked Amtrak yet."

Of course, the unaccompanied minor program on Amtrak appears to be different from similar programs on planes - sounds like they really are unaccompanied, not "accompanied by an employee".

Tomorrow is election day

And I'm going to vote, not because I particularly want to or even care this year, but because I feel that it's important to have the nieces see this bit of civic responsibility.

It looks like I only have one choice to make this year, for district attorney. But I'm going to vote for supreme court justice* as well anyway, even though there's no point as the guy's running unopposed. Like that'll stop me!

*In NYS, the supreme court is the regular appeals court. The supreme court is the Court of Appeals. Don't question it.
