Those who are a position to influence the impressionable can
direct them to block vote, thus drowning out everyone else's
selections. I'm thinking junior school teachers, chain email
writers and tutors of pensioner computer classes.
Why? These puppet masters would have an opportunity to
improve
their perception of self-worth and power (which are
obviously starting from a low base given their occupations) so
they don't feel the need to commit more destructive acts.
One obvious benefit would be fewer drinks being thrown at
Reese Witherspoon's car.
