    That really makes me think a lot. And I keep thinking different things about it - - if I ever get to a solidified answer, I'll post it.

    HELLO?  Did you back TRUMP?  That is why we DON'T.  Because public opinion is notoriously filled with sheep who cannot judge their own bungholes.

    That's why.

    Because crowds follow.  They are sheep.

    They voted for a MORON who controls their every thought.  They are told what to think and how to think.

    That is why.

    Oh... didn't think of that.. I was thinking along the lines of... MOST people didn't vote for the orange one... and most people are relatively sane...I was hoping that the sheep would be outnumbered.

    There's several ways to think of it, and it does sound valid until and unless you see that the public cannot be trusted to HAVE an actual opinion.

    I am dangerously in favor of having some testing going on to determine whether people should be allowed to vote based on their background of historical definitions, etc.

    History in general.

    But?  I cannot trust the ones who would officiate the testing.

    The whole world is going to hell in a handbasket because no one's word or integrity can be trusted.

    We have no laws if we cannot trust our words.
