Hello.ooo..oo. You just made my case for me spectacularly in all of three
lines.

You said you would not vote because you didn't want to log in to vote,
presumably either because :

a) you couldn't be arsed at all, or if you could
b) you didn't want the website to know your IP address, and didn't realise,
rather than
c) you couldn't be arsed, to vote through an anonymising proxy, or you are
sufficiently paranoid that
d) you don't trust anonymity machinery technically, and possibly also you
believe
e) its the people who actually try to be anonymous who are most noticed

Whatever the reason, you chose effectively to disenfranchise (in sense of
one-person one-vote) yourself, rather than vote traceably.

Yet you claim that the loss of liberty and democracy entailed by the state
maintaining total practicable traceability is compensated for by the
existence of remailers, when you either can't be arsed or don't trust them
yourself ? Come off it.

If everybody did that (and if they are like you they will) then they won't
participate in any democratic political expression online. It's no comfort
to say in some ideal world we could all use double-spend-detecting blind
signatures, because that just isn't very likely to happen...
