    Algorithms string multiple components together and when too many things click, then human eyes take an interest. Really cool stuff.

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    When did you make this prediction? Where? Is it a secret?

    It's okay you don't want to say "White Supremacist Beta Males, age 40 and older". Dude, I get it. You're unhappy. You feel the world owes you and that you are being shortchanged by the powers that be...who are mostly black....women....lesbians.

    My question is "Why are you whining to me about it?"

    the answer can be found in the Texas election laws......

    It seems to me that once you remove the possibility of a whole range of choices (notably those very various ones labelled 'socialism) and allow large-scale manipulation of the mugs by interested parties, especially by their control of the media and the accepted political parties in favour of the status quo, you have destroyed any meaningful democracy and people get bored out of their minds with the whole business, unless, to keep them interested, you build up huge hatreds between groups through which they can express their frustrations - roughly the state you have reached in the USA, I think. The likely future would seem to be splitting up the country, civil war or some sort of nazi-style tyranny.

    Yes, the death of the Republican party's affiliation with teabaggerism or Trumpism, and restoration of support for the USA by elimination of lying fascist traitor scum.
    Here's to their early death.

    allow states to implement election security as per the constitution.

    end censorship on social media.

    return corporations to their orignal legal conditions.

    Initially, the privilege of incorporation was granted selectively to enable activities that benefited the public, such as construction of roads or canals. Enabling shareholders to profit was seen as a means to that end. The states also imposed conditions (some of which remain on the books, though unused) like these*:

    Corporate charters (licenses to exist) were granted for a limited time and could be revoked promptly for violating laws.
    Corporations could engage only in activities necessary to fulfill their chartered purpose.
    Corporations could not own stock in other corporations nor own any property that was not essential to fulfilling their chartered purpose.
    Corporations were often terminated if they exceeded their authority or caused public harm.
    Owners and managers were responsible for criminal acts committed on the job.
    Corporations could not make any political or charitable contributions nor spend money to influence law-making.
