Nepal holds first post-war election

The people in the picture appear to be holding voter identification. What a novel concept! THIS is what happens when people truly appreciate the ability to vote, they make the effort to do what is necessary and get themselves to the polling place. I also like what happens when they vote -- they don't get an "I voted" sticker, the get their thumbnail cuticles sharpied. It's not quite as loud and in-your-face as dipping your whole thumb in indelible ink like the Iraqis do, but nobody is going to be able to clean their thumbnail area in time to make a second fraudulent vote. (Not saying anyone would have been inclined to vote multiple times, but in that sense it's like padlocks for honest people.)

Sgt Wayne Wood always good to know, I appreciate the GLOBAL view on newsworthy events.
