   So… we ALL deserve to be in chains?

   But I’m with you. If any are in chains for who they are, then we’re all in chains. But some deserve to be in chains for what they do.

   Well, John Rhys-Davies who played Gimli in Lord of the Rings is 6’1”, so I guess it’s possible.

   Focusing on a “stiff shaft” and a guy in the shower. Then he sways to “YMCA.”

   I remember the days when wearing a tan suit was a scandal. Now, nothing is.

   Here are two articles that were fairly easy to find, though GC doesn’t seem to allow me to post their links. It’s been known for a long time that most Americans dislike the EC — which makes sense considering so many elections lately have silence the voice of the majority.

   As for Founders, let’s stick to one for the moment, but a big one. James Madison, primary author of the Constitution. Even though he was a slave owner himself and from Virginia, he disliked the system and preferred popular vote. Later (1823, I believe), he proposed changes to the EC that were not initially adopted (he knew it was popular with smaller states and didn’t think there was a chance to get rid of it by then).

   Research Center from September 25, 2024 titled, “Majority of Americans Continue to Favor Moving Away From Electoral College.”

   The other is from Fair Vote and is titled, “Why James Madison Wanted To Change The Way We Vote For President.”

   It surprises me that you say there’s no open discussion about Project 2025. I’m reading lots about it, have been in many discussions with people. Not sure what’s missing. As to whether the Executive has the legal authority to do what they want, that is the question. But many governments and systems have fallen simply by someone doing something and not being held accountable. I have seen coups or attempted coups take place with no legal ramifications for its beneficiaries. I have seen many criminals get away with countless crimes because they had friends within the power structure. It really does depend on who is there to stop a take-over like that, and I currently do not trust that the system is strong enough anymore. In either case, the very fact that we have to think about this because there is a published plan to transform our government into a de facto dictatorship, should trouble every American.

    It seems to not let me post links. One is from the Pew Research Center from September 25, 2024 titled, “Majority of Americans Continue to Favor Moving Away From Electoral College.”
