Seriously? That's going to be your argument for undoing the longest standing representative democracy on the planet?

Im not sure which post you're referring to. How am I undoing representative democracy? There is no call for dismantling of house and senate, nor is there even talk of going from bicameral to unicameral.
I'm just calling for one person, one vote and that citizens aren't disenfranchized while illegals, non citizens and felons are allowed a voice in the selection of the president.

And why the presidency?  DUH! it is the only elected (well appointed) office 'among the several states'.

Since negros (cuz thats the era, sorry all you guys with the tanning solution but you gotta be negros today) are now given a 1 man 1 vote, indians (and sorry, natives are indians today too) are given 1 man 1 vote, and women are given 1 woman one vote:

The EC is as anachronistic as the arquebus, and should be abandoned.

That will help us return to more Lincoln/Douglas style debates. And this day and age they can be like the town hall meetings, except the candidates of all parties, and nobody screens the participants for their party faithfulness.

Then we could decapitate a great deal of the talking heads.  And bring down a racist institution, the EC.

Moon doesn't hate the U.S.
He does take issue with simpletons making asinine comments though,of course this is why we like him....he has that dry humor we,as Americans,haven't quite mastered yet

Last election was slightly under 11.8 million.  It is not a key firewall that safeguards individual liberties.   It clearly ignores the individual, while marginalizing medium states to the sidelines, and leaves the contest to 5-6 states.

It is monte carlo gaming.  Pure and simple.   We got the math to pick the fuck out of that lock nowadays.  It fails the shit out of the individual voice and liberty.

I am going to be in Mississippi tomorrow. I have been there before and in several other Southern states. I have never seen this happen. I am so going to be watching for it.



I've lived in Connecticut, New York, North Carolina, California, Texas, Ohio and Kentucky. The whisper of the "black" word was prevalent and indeed exists. Sometimes, it's more of a an outright roar than an impolite whisper. It is absolute hypocrisy to teach our children to "play nice", yet still live in a society where racism and intolerance of differences exists.

Don't you understand,they are supposed to "play nice" as children.
As adults they are supposed to do as we do.... separate completely and never,ever mingle.
Many a parent has had that whole"play nice" thing blow up in their face when little Debbie,or Bobbie Jr, come home with a date not of their kind.
Than the shit hits the fan
