response to ncm

ncm: Ah, your point is noted then. Well at this point I’m not especially dead set on anything except that I know I’d like to work in mathematics or computer science, preferably in an area bridging somewhere between biological sciences and math/CS or specifically in distributed systems. As to where I’ll end up, who knows right now, I’ve got a couple years before I’ll be doing grad school. Out of curiosity, what is it exactly that I’d need to pick up in order to (usefully) participate in the Making? I guess I’ve yet to understand what it is exactly I’ll be missing.

As for voting, I vote, and support candidates I feel are the right choice at a local, regional, state, and national level. My beef was merely more of a rant about a system I feel is flawed but you are correct, its quite simple to sway a body at the lower level though sometimes I’m not sure it matters as much when the electoral college comes into play.
