I have decided to quit this wish list altogether. It's a joke.
Amen.
But you know, something can be salvaged from this.
There IS now a network of young women who got mobilized behind this action. They are now seeing that it doesn't do to be complacent when there are so many men and traitorous women out there who would like to take away women's reproductive rights.
Something good can come of this - some kind of useful activism can be done with this many engaged women and men on the issue.
Looks like the prochoice group got around 400 people in an hour.

I clicked refresh again 90 seconds later and it was another 150 people.
I'm off.
7043 pro-choice
7040 anti-abortion
Ok, now I've totally changed my mind, I'm on board, let's win this one!!!
I've been waiting for you to say that, unionist!

Other ppl have posted confirming that it works. So I wonder if this means that CBC will shut down the contest as the results will have no validity or if they will find someway to cancel out the multiple supports?

It works. I have personally run the numbers up to 7440 from 7350 or so.
The only thing this dorky CBC scam proves is that I have no life. [img]biggrin.gif" border="0[/img]
All right, all right. I signed up for the stupid facebook. And I supported the pro-choice and proportional representation wishes. [img]smile.gif" border="0[/img]
The person who started the pro-choice wish has pleaded with people not to cheat.
Oh really? Okay then.

BTW, one of the questions is, what is "cheating" in this context? (Clearly the step-by-step multiple vote thing is cheating, but there is a lot of grey otherwise.)
As much as it pains me, I'm going to have to close this thread for length, before our dial-up users revolt.
I opened another one in its name, which can be found [url=http://www.rabble.ca/babble/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=24&t=001204&p...
