24. ginchinchili (the original poster) seems to have disappeared....
A hit and run indeed. If he hadn't run, I'd have asked him what better ideas he had. We have a flawed election system here in the U.S., and it's been flawed from day 1. Does he have a technique for changing it? Americans have their own culture. They're not Europeans. Europeans might not like the fact that our elections are so theatrical, and that we use poetic language, and rhyming phrases, and all manner of catchy-sounding language in our elections. We wouldn't like the fact that their elections are so mature, serious and dry. Sure, I'd love it if this country's elections didn't require a bazillion dollars per candidate, but what suggestions have you got? I await your response but I doubt I'll get any.
