Hehehe....I had a history instructor (I guess we didn'g rate a professor) ask me one time what I thought about communism. I told him it was a bunch of crap and he never asked me another question for the rest of the course.

And I actually made a decent grade in the class.

Maybe your professor thinks that Iraq has a fairer election process since they managed to have 100% voter participation.

Story here.

Man, those Iraqis really know how to vote. Of the nearly 11.8 million eligible voters in Iraq, every single one managed to vote "yes" to a resolution to keep Iraqi dictator/president Saddam Hussein in charge for another seven years. Not only that, but every paper ballot was counted before the end of the day! Meanwhile, here in America, columnist Jonathan Alter grouses, "Turnouts in American elections are routinely under 50 percent of eligible voters," and for the upcoming November elections "the numbers could get worse." And you can bet the voters aren't all going to agree on whom to vote for.
