Drinking prevalent on Coaster train from Padres games : North County Times - Californian 06-10-2009
The Coaster may again propose a ban on alcohol. "The third car's upper level was a party zone, claimed almost exclusively by what looked like high school and college-age riders with plenty of beer. As the train pulled out from San Diego, a uniform "wooooooo," went up. When that died, a gruff male voice rose above the shouting and laughing." "You're all a bunch of (expletives). You're all a bunch of (expletives)..." the voice intoned. That voice was soon drowned out by chant about pot smoking that rose up from half the crowd.

I sometimes forget that if I give an option of "don't care"

in a poll that everybody chooses that one. Polls are about decisions! Not voting means you don’t care.

Wait...

Now I’m confused. So if I don’t care do I select the “don’t care” box or do I just not vote at all? What if I CHOOSE not to care or vote, isn’t that voting? Perhaps you should have a “I choose not to vote” box? But then if you ticked it you be voting to choose not to vote? Huh? And while we’re on decisions, who let me in here anyway?
