Re: trump off the CO ballot
As for holidays, I'm curious about something. There is no such thing as a mandatory holiday in the US. There are customs, but no laws. Federal workers get certain holidays off. Other than that, it's all by agreement between employer and employees, sometimes with unions representing employees. Almos...

Re: trump off the CO ballot
Consider: If all we did was make the vote mandatory, like Australia, and voted on a holiday...just that...we'd see very different results. That alone, if true, exposes the flimsy nature of our democratic intent. Trust me, mandatory voting is a hard sell to Americans. I've never seen someone so vehe...

Re: Does the Southern Hemisphere still have Boy Scouts?
I have no cool stories from Scouts.
There was that time gale-force winds blew our tent away. That was fun.

Re: trump off the CO ballot
There are issues with the way we pick elected representatives, but there are issues everywhere in the world where there are elections. I'm just glad we have elections to complain about. If things were as bad as you say they are, power wouldn't shift back and forth the way it does in America. Oh com...

Re: Does the Southern Hemisphere still have Boy Scouts?
I was a Scout. We didn't call them "boy" scouts because girls weren't Scouts, they were Guides.

Re: trump off the CO ballot
Well, I feel like I vote, and I do so based on my principles, and my assessment of which candidate I feel like best fits the vision of what I want from government. If everyone did that, it sounds like democracy to me. Only if everyone actually can do that, and if everybody's vote counts equally. It...
