eh . You chose wisely . <| sep |> I hope you ' re right . Boro is an animal though . <| sep |> If there was a public holiday to go I think it should be Melbourne Cup <| sep |> It is unfair , but life is unfair . <| sep |> No confirmation from paypal , but I still have the transaction processing . <| sep |> There is no argument against this point and renders any argument invalid . Looks like someone is a fan of Wilkow . Firstly there is nothing in the how a republic works that says that the executive has to be chosen by winner take all states . A republic is simply that the elected officials have powers which we ' ve given to them . Nebraska ' s proportionment of the electoral votes isn ' t an affront to the very nature of our republic . When electing the governor we don ' t have winner take all counties . The reason for the electoral college wasn ' t because maryland didn ' t want to get run over . It was because Slave owners wanted their property to give them a larger say for the president . In the house each salve counted as 35 of a person . This gives a slave owner with 2 slaves the same vote as two Northerners . It ' s a relic from slavery . This winner take all apportionment system is also disenfranchising the outparty voters of these solid states . Republicans in CA get no love from the federal government or state government . Liberals in Texas are ignored too . They only get some attention every two years when they ask us for money so they can go to Florida , New Hampshire , and Iowa to give them some love . So all in all what I am really railing about is the winner take all apportionment at the state level . I sick of being ignored in CA .
