In an age where technology would allow popular vote rather than the electorial college system, we still have the electorial college.

In our Pledge of Allegiance, the line is actually,

"And to the Republic, for which it stands"

But, your point still stands. People do need to vote because it is a right to have a voice in the government. And if there are enough voices, change occurs.

He does really know what it takes to get the girls excited and want them to glaze their donuts although I'm more of just a voyeur around him.

Wow it's one in the afternoon and I've still not gotten ready for the day. In just four and one half hours it will be dark again. Maybe I should just go back to bed and try again tomorrow.

I agree!

We live in a constitutional republic based on democratic principles and the rule of law.

MLK marched on Washington because it was well within his right under the rule of law, not because it was popular.

Our democratic principles allow for free and open voting.

The rule of law is to insure the outcome does not violate anyone’s rights under the constitution.

The challange is to elect people who understand this and govern with individual freedoms always at the forefront.

Good afternoon all!

I hope Gabbo runs for office in 2008
