I recently found out that Cruz wrote the forward to the U.S. Constitution for Dummies book. In as much as this surprised me and disturbed me, I thought the Dummies part was quite appropriate.

Here's an interesting perspective on Trump's still in development policy staff. Sorry about posting whole article as circumstances prevented a URL link to direct you to. Source: Peter Grier Christian Science Monitor.. I never thought I'd see a column tying Donald Trump to Abraham Lincoln. :)...

Here's a recent work post on the system and other potential alternatives The electoral college has serious problems. So do any alternatives. My thinking is that unless it can be shown that any other election besides this one and Gore Bush can be shown to have these discrepancy it should be...

I think the first two articles needed to be pointed out in that the electoral college was the best answer at the time because there are dangers in a "pure" democracy but this process certainly comes with some baggage as at that time it was serviced to try to offset the large population advantage...

He/She/It first made the news on Nov 16 1966 but was apparently first sighted Nov 12 1966

There is another system on the table but I suspect it will be a very long time before it seed the light of day as it could circumvent the prestige of swing states. Maybe it's a coincidence but if you look at the current map it bears a strong resemblance to the red state blue state divide before...

Anarchists aside I would consider the WTO protests just because you had a situation where a number of organizations were getting together and creating a compact that involved millions of lives and those millions didn't exactly have a direct say in it. While I acknowledge a person's right to...

I don't know what the historical precedents are in mid term elections but being that Trump flipped a few states this should be concerning to the Democratic party unless of course that fact that he flipped them wasn't because of any love for him or change in political philosophy than distrust of...

I just heard this on wait wait and thought it was a joke until I googled it. Trump campaign executive's pants literally caught on fire: report

So Ufology, while your sentiment is valid maybe your timing is off a little :) Does Canada have a day like Veterans/Armistice Day and another holiday like the U S. Memorial Day?

While I cannot argue with the logic behind that if it was that simple I think this penalty (whatever the ceiling would be) would have been instituted in the first place. Where they got to where they are must have come down to compromising because they figured a higher limit wouldn't be...

From the beginning as I understood it the weak link in this was getting the younger healthier people involved and if they didn't this system wouldn't last. That being the case It seems this very issue is a large part of why the system is failing. So what was the Republicans answer to that when...

I haven't gotten a chance to watch the video but let me just add this to your propaganda thing I got involved in the shortwave radio back in the early eighties until it's I guess you can pretty much call it death earlier this decade and talk about some of the points of view and the various...

Perhaps this should be included on the other thread but I'm not adverse to @ufology point. There are a myriad of reasons why these conflicts over the millennial have started with multiple causes that historians will always point out and argue over, point and counterpoint but I do know there is a...

Now would be a good time to point out that my quoting anybody here does not constitute an endorsement but simply a dissemination of information for your viewing pleasure.

Very true (I hope...as I've seen some pretty anti social acts committed on both sides) and thanks for providing better context and I would hope if the shoe was on the other foot and it was a bunch of Trump fans the same consideration would be given. Still my point remains, whether people like it...

Couldn't let this thread go by without another contribution

And it is for that reason I would say to all those people that are protesting causing damage out there that if you want to have an impact on this then you need to get to whoever your local assembly congressperson is and let them know what your feelings are on some of these important Trump...

Speaking of language some pretty strong words from Harry Reid. “I have personally been on the ballot in Nevada for 26 elections and I have never seen anything like the reaction to the election completed last Tuesday. The election of Donald Trump has emboldened the forces of hate and bigotry...

I think come black Friday all those protestors will be too busy knocking each other aside to get to the plasma screens and IiPhones in best buys and Walmarts
