Quote by: Osborn F Enready  The popular vote, without unalienable rights, would allow any atrocity to take place by any majority, over any minority vote.
Is this not obvious common sense? |
It is ludicrous. Not sense at all. Do you believe you could get enough racists to allow "any atrocity to take place by any majority, over any minority vote." (your words)..?? What a fable. In fact, we would have had equality for all people here in America.. not the atrocities that we have in fact endured under our plutocratic regime..

Plutocracy has been our "government" since the get go. They hustled Democracy, the scam you speak of, right off the table. How could they control the will of the people..??
It was easy at the time.. the small population was mostly ignorant.. illiterate. So they claimed that necessitated the electoral vote.. in order to give the ignorant a voice in who is chosen as "president" (over them) -- so long as it comes down to the very person the "electors" wanted. Jefferson knew what we needed. Democracy.. is never a scam. In fact, Mr Bush loves to bleat the word Democracy out every chance he gets. Especially when "helping" other nations to "do it our way" -- :eek:

See above.
I think that is redundant.. that ground has been pounded to death. How do you think we had slavery.. all through our grand constitutional beginnings..?? And to this day, this country allows it's owners.. the corporations, to decree our lives..?? Yes, plutocracy has always been our way.
