I'll be pretty busy this weekend (Army work), but I can start a discussion with you in the Forum tomorrow 1 December 2006 (Friday) and then later on next week from Monday 4 December and onwards . . . Please let me know when you post it (please feel free to use my direct e-mail at kuriosiesuschristos at abidinglifephoenix.com) because Nationalism is a very pertinent political issue to be discussing.

I don't want to take this mail thread off-topic. As for the usefulness of quizzes like this, I think something better is required to use the internet to engage people in the political process. Something like ....a wiki. Interactive, information rich, and more sophisticated than a simple quiz. Yes or No answers aren't good enough.

For example as Americans, we are held together by governmental and bureacratic structures, mass media, etc. but what seems to "unify" the country more than anything is going to war. This is sad, and as a Just-War Advocate in the Christian Tradition, I opposed the War in Iraq (but not opposed to the Just-War in Afghanistan), but no one would listen to such concerns then (I was a 20% minority in March 2003, along with the infamous Dixie Chicks!). Now, 3 years later, Iraq had the makings of a blood-bath, but I think that the problem will be contained with Shalom (a theological category) with Moderate Islam in the Middle East. They should all bury the hatchet and just get back to work. Blessings, Rob J King, U.S. Army -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

We have 809 people subscribed to this list currently. That's absolutely amazing, btw. We now have sites in 11 languages: Chinese, English, Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Polish, Hungarian. I just took a look at the languages other than English, and the only one that is really active is Japanese. I can type 'please' and 'thank you' in a few of them, and there are automatic translators that at least translate word by word, but more than that I'm afraid I can't do. But I'd like to find a way to encourage participation in those languages as well. Hopefully, we'll be done with the policy vote distractions within the next few weeks. I had no idea that it would take this long to get through everyone's ideas, and I'm sure that more ideas will continue to be posted. That's ok, but I think we have a good enough foundation for now. I've just updated the Electoral Calendar to show that all the elections we have listed in 2006 are now over, and it's time to focus on 2007. For the national elections, we can also start working on the 2008 elections as well. Please contact me directly if you would like suggestions or if you have any questions.

First of all i want to assure one and all that the campaign to eliminate the electoral system in favor of direct popular vote will continue with or without our help. It's just going to take longer without it, and i for one don't plan on living into the next century. I would like to have a vote now. As it stands, all i have is a chad, a hollow vapor-vote that the current pack of profiteers want to channel into overpriced ballot shredders. This puts a point on the real issue. It's this that i want you to talk about amongst yourselves. We all know that the Deibold Voting Kiosk debacle is an ongoing sham, a National Embarassment of such unmittigated gaul that the rest of the world actually sympathizes with the common American's plight. The white-collar thugs of the reigning cleptocracy made no effort to hide the ripe nepotism and clear conflict of interest in the contracts foisted off on the public for these poorly constructed travesties. They almost seem as if they were designed to rig elections. The failure rates and specious results conspire with the lack of paper trail and source code irregularities to point a full hand worth of accusatory fingers at Deibold and it's proponants. This indicates that someone wanted to fudge the popular count. Which they did, to a lesser degree than required to obscure the fact that it didn't make a difference. 2000 saw the electoral vote give an election to the loser, and we did nothing. Noone mentioned the disparity in the count, Al Gore chose to fight a losing battle in an unrelated arena, and we have inheirited the whirlwind as a direct result. Why? Why did Diebold fudge a meaningless count? Why did Gore halfassedly contest Florida's count? TO KEEP YOU CONVINCED OF IT'S RELEVANCE. Look, you don't have to take it from me when i say the electoral college is the number one reason that the aristocrats still rule us like the voiceless serfs we are becoming again. You know they do. You know that the founding fathers were landholders, New World Lords, you know what their intent was. You vote for your cities' Mayor, right? How about Judges? City Council? All direct popular votes, right? Governor, State Legislature, Circuit Judges? All direct popular votes, right? Propositions, state bills, bond issues, all popular direct ratification, right? How about the federal mirror of these municiple and State organs? Supreme Court? Appointed. President? Elected by people appointed by legislatures ACCORDING TO PARTY AFFILIATION. Talk it over while your doing your holiday socializing. Ask others why we don't have an actual vote.
