It’s not surprising to find out that the U.S. is still using a voting system that was instigated in a big way by the then slave-trading southern states, in an effort to hold onto their rights to keep men and women as slaves for as long as possible.

By keeping the most influential voting power in the southern states as opposed to the northern more populated states, it seems even in times like this it can be used to keep America in the dark ages and become un-attached to the U.N’s and the Geneva Convention’s purposes of guarding basic human rights.

And I won’t even mention the billion dollars that was used to fund this election, it’s not like there are people starving in the U.S. or anywhere else in the world, those details are insignificant when compared to the mass purchasing of media to sway(?) a populations opinions.

The fallout of this election? over 1 million Americans applying for residency in Canada the week after the elections? no… a super-power becoming dangerously dominate and causing once allied countries to closely examine their ties? maybe… The deaths of more innocent people caught in the crossfire of “The War on Terrorism”? definately.

I just hope their isn’t going to be another world war in our lifetimes or our childrens…

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this issue Rog, you sum up so elloquently what alot of us have been feeling/thinking… if only the world could vote…
