I hope that all of you living here in the US have either voted, or you know when you will be voting!

Voting is key to having our country be more perfect.

Jeez Neal. What the hell was that all about? A plaintive call across the abyss of despair?
You should know by now that voting has little to do with making the country more perfect, it is quite likely to achieve the exact opposite - as appears right now to be the case, but whither Wisconsin? What you need to address first is the states of mind........ then the system..

Breath Nick, I think Neil was referring to the US Preamble of the Constitution.

"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union,...."

Ohhh, that again..........
You might be right, but I would suggest that the sooner the US gets rid of its constitution the better it will be for all of us. Not that I would trust him, but I dare suggest that if there ever was a man who might have the balls to do that, it might be Mr Trump.......!

Nick, I hope we can have a conversation about this. I think our Constitution is at its core an excellent thing; but it is flawed. The whole point is to work to be more perfect. over time.

With what you've got over there these days, and the way you got him, I would have thought having a queen would sound like a pretty good idea............

I should have know all my left coast friends would chime in support of Nick :)
I think I'll change my signature to: "Don't blame me I threw my vote away on a third party candidate" ;)
