The answer is that indeed there are. The Edible Ballot Society of Canada promotes ballot ingestion as a form of civil disobedience: "Voting is not only useless, it actually undermines genuine democracy by legitimizing an inherently undemocratic process...Check out great dishes such as the Ballot Burger, with a side order of Campaign Literature. Or perhaps you enjoy cheese and would like to try a Ballot Fondue," says the group's Web site (everyone has a Web site these days).
Note: I supposed this should have waited at least until October, but it was just too funny.

Dont' those people get enough fiber in their LaBatt's? Maybe they should switch to Guinness. :blink: EBS sounds to me like "Erudite Bull Sh**."
Undermining democracy is a redundant concept. Democracy undermines itself, see PJ O Rourke's Parliament of Whores for a find and funny peek into "democracy." Constitutional republics have a chance, but the crook factor is a risk.
