[QUOTE="cjjtulsa, post: 1890338, member: 6146"] As per the basis of my rant, I’d like a system where the votes of the people actually matter, not this facade of “doing your duty” and voting for two people who are basically given to the masses from which to choose, and both basically sponsored by entities (sometimes supporting both candidates) that – for all intents and purposes – “buys” our choice in exchange for doing their bidding. The will of those that are supposed to be “served” by the elected is ignored, and the whole system is perverted. Yes, we are all “subjects” to some degree, but the extent that we are here in the United States is contrary to the vision of those who established the place. As for your other question: to a certain degree, isn’t a united group of separate states kind of what the architects of this nation had in mind in the first place? I think that whole premise is the catalyst for the many “states rights” arguments since the Constitution was signed. You’re better educated than me, so if I’m off base, steer me in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
