    The people will still be here. Perhaps a better way of life would change us, but its certainly to late for me to change the dim view I have of my own species. Everything could be 100% fixed overnight and I would still never forgive us all for what is, and what was throughout human history.

    This next beer is in honor of what hope remains in the human race. Good luck.





  • Its almost like First-past-the-post voting artificially limits the number of viable political parties to two and should be replaced immediately.

    At the very least, you would think democracy advocates in the democratic party would be falling over each other to implement such a much needed reform of our voting systems in the blue states they control. Democrats themselves admit non stop that First-past-the-post voting is a huge problem every election when they screech about the small numbers of 3rd party voters. Democrars publicly admit they know the voting system is broken, yet FPTP remains in use in the vast majority of the country.

    How can you be so upset about a recurring problem and then do nothing to resolve it? There is no excuse. The democrats want to hold your vote hostage and they are using the republican party to threaten you to do it. While they may not be exactly the same as the republicans, they are a part of the problem with our country.

    The democratic party must lose its monopoly on resisting the republicans. We should have a free market of ideas competing with each other. We could have multiple chances to defeat the republicans every election We may one day be free to vote how we want.
