Cute! I am a pole worker here in Florida and I worked the Primaries. The Machines are not linked to the internet and have an internal disk and paper tape. The procedure for setting up, operating, and closing down these machines is strickly monitored. I was impressed with how serious and careful my fellow workers were. Florida was a laughing stock last time, we are trying to see to it that does not happen again. Also pole watchers observe the voting and roving inspectors drop in all the time to check on the overall operation of the polling site.

Did God really create the mosquito? Or, was it Satan?
by Schizm inpeople who profess belief in the god of the bible refer to him as the "creator".
thus, they believe that god is responsible for all forms of life here on the earth and in heaven.
the thought of even one living thing as being the creation of any person other than god himself would no doubt be a completely foreign thought to the average bible-believer.

"I have no special regard for Satan; but I can at least claim that I have no prejudice against him. It may even be that I lean a little his way, on account of his not having a fair show. All religions issue bibles against him, and say the most injurious things about him, but we never hear his side. We have none but the evidence for the prosecution, and yet we have rendered the verdict. To my mind, this is irregular. It is un-English; it is un-American; it is French. . . . Of course Satan has some kind of a case, it goes without saying. It may be a poor one, but that is nothing; that can be said about any of us."

Very few of us ever have truly original thoughts, with the billions of people, someone, somewhere probably had the same idea run through their minds, so your not ever hearing of this mosquito question before hardly means it has never come up.
Insect born disease has killed more people throughout history than any other source. Insects like the mosquito have keep the rain forests from being denuded long before the last century. We humans often are the authors of our own tribulation, and the closed minded religous leaders and their dupes have been at the forefront of these miseries.
Part of the mind-set of the Nit-Witnesses is that everything is explained to them and fits into some neat little package. They take comfort in "knowing" what is going of in this big world. Fact is, we humans don't know squat. Once you leave the confortable lies of the WTS you have to come to terms with that.
I'm OK with not knowing why everything is the way it is. Hopefully someday you will be too!

I have heard this argument from other nit-Witnesses. Of the over 100 different kinds of mosquitos only a very few are blood breaders, most pollinate flowering plants too small for other insects. Many small aquatic animals thrive on the mosquito larva.
