yes, I like my fantasy land, thank you very much.

I take you at your word. Are you famililar with poll taxes, literacy taxes, and other things done in legislatures across the South post Reconstruction? How read up are you on things that neccessitated the VRA of 1965?

How vigilant were you during the presidential elections of 2008 and 2012 (which involved states in the midwest, not so much the south)?

I agree with you; in the arena of competing ideas, the best ones usually win. But, if ever such a time existed, these are not, by and large, the times of honorable politicians.

To be honest - I don't know what I heard that was truth, and what I heard that was complete BS. I dont think ALL facts are readily available to us. What facts are available are so skewed.... *sigh*

There are alot of things about voting that are completely not fair. States who's votes really dont matter, or the electoral college has it nailed befor Hawaii can even be counted. If I lived in Hawaii, I'd be mad as hell that my vote wasn't going to count once California numbers were in.....
