STOLEN
I stole this from the Star Trek community I am a part of here on LJ... Read this and if you're a trek fan, you'll appreciate it!
With Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager and even Enterprise on DVD, Trek fans don't have much time to venture into, much less pay attention to, the outside world. With that in mind, here is a list of things for Trekkies to remember when they don their Spock ears and head out to participate in the democracy ritual on Election Day:
* Federation club "rank" will not get you any special treatment at the polling place.
* You may not sign in with the registrar in Klingon.
* Comparing Barack Obama to Mr. Tuvok makes you an intergalactic racist.
* Do not ask the voting official to make the "swoosh" sound when you enter the booth.
* The chances of being split in two due to a "voting booth accident" are extremely slim.
* Scott Bakula is not a good write-in for any spot on any ticket.
* Joe Biden is running for Vice President, not "Number One."
* Sarah Palin is the Borg Queen.
* You cannot vote to allow Vulcans to mate more often.
* Do not say "Make it so!" out loud when you're done voting.
