Can you imaging that people living in 'ordinary nations' have a hard time seeing the 'greatness'?

In the mind of an intelligent man, this is a point of view, in the mind of a less intelligent man this is propaganda. In the mind of the average voter this is an opinion that fills a vacuum.

Always consider the source.

Matt's decision to move to Ellensburg represents a lifelong effort to stay as far away as possible from any city with a population over 50,000.

(Austin American-Statesman ? 10/16/2004)
WASHINGTON -- Members of the military and their families overwhelmingly favor President Bush over his Democratic challenger John Kerry, according to a survey released Friday. The respondents named Bush over Kerry by 69 percent to 24 percent on which candidate would be trusted more "to handle the responsibilities of commander in chief." And 67 percent approved of the way Bush is handling his job.

Remember, Jimbo, the Founding Fathers (the other FF) left us with a republic, not a democracy.?

The only reason for the electoral college was to make up for the lack of voters in the slave states.

It's time for it to go, Republic or not.

Not arguing for or against the electoral college, Jimbo, but the history may prove enlightening to you:

Not sure this will work, but the way it is. <_<

Didn't work, but it is a picture of an unusually arranged outdoor privy. Maybe I can figure another way to capture it for everyone's entertainment except for the politicians.
