The Editor's Notepod, Monday, November 10, 2008

State: Automatic voter registration. I’m not quite clear why it is no obligatory for everyone to be registered – and automatically at that. And why is it a wonderful thing for people to be able to make up their minds at the last moment, literally, and go to the polls? Does this make it more democratic? Why should the courtesy be extended to those who’ve taken no previous interest, as compared, say, to those who have watched with involvement and concentration since the campaign began?

State: Mystic Seaport. The Charles W. Morgan is out of the water for repairs. It is not cheap or easy to replace timbers in a vessel of this size!

Meriden: Congratulations to Franciscans for their decade of Hospice work.
