Tennessee on verge of banning phones, cameras at polling places

good.

Ban that shit while driving a car, too.

Jeesus H. Christ, it's like this generation was born with a fucking iPhone in its hands.  Normally, I'm not a fan of government intervention in anything, but get over yourselves.  Sometimes it's okay just to do something without making sure five hundred thousand of your closest friends know about it immediately.

And ballot selfies are endangering secrecy of votes and enable voter intimidation.

selfies of all stripes endanger civilization as we know it.  They are the 21st-century equivalent of sitting naked on a photocopier and leaving photocopies of your hairy ass and sack as a prank in the office mailboxes of your colleagues.  That's okay once in a blue moon, so to speak, but with mobile phones the attention whore mentality become ubiquitous, so that children today don't know good manners.

Actually, civilization as we knew it ended already on December 21, 2012.  The Maya accurately predicted that.  What they didn't prepare us for was what form the new civilization would take.  Perhaps in the grand scheme of things, instantly messaging your ballot suffrage, along with your latest bowel movement, to friends--strangers apparently don't exist anymore--is not the hallmark of an inferior civilization.  Just one that takes some getting used to.
