  • Leaving aside the bloody catalog of oppression, which we are in one way too familiar with already, what this does to the subjugated, the most private, the most serious thing this does to the subjugated, is to destroy his sense of reality.

  • Under National Popular Vote, every voter, everywhere, would be politically relevant and equal in every presidential election. Every vote would matter in the state counts and national count. National Popular Vote would give a voice to the minority party voters in presidential elections in each state. Now they don't matter to their candidate. In 2012, 56,256,178 (44%) of the 128,954,498 voters had their vote diverted by the winner-take-all rule to a candidate they opposed (namely, their state’s first-place candidate). And now votes, beyond the one needed to get the most votes in the state, for winning in a state, are wasted and don't matter to candidates. With National Popular Vote, presidential campaigns would poll, organize, visit, and appeal to more than 7 states. One would reasonably expect that voter turnout would rise in 80%+ of the country that is currently conceded months in advance by the minority parties in the states, taken for granted by the dominant party in the states, and ignored by all parties in presidential campaigns.

  • There have been hundreds of unsuccessful proposed amendments to modify or abolish the Electoral College - more than any other subject of Constitutional reform. To abolish the Electoral College would need a constitutional amendment, and could be stopped by states with as little as 3% of the U.S. population. Instead, by changing state winner-take-all laws (not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but later enacted by 48 states), without changing anything in the Constitution, using the built-in method that the Constitution provides for states to make changes, the National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in the country. Every vote, everywhere, for every candidate, would be politically relevant and equal in every presidential election. No more distorting and divisive red and blue state maps of pre-determined outcomes. No more handful of 'battleground' states (where the two major political parties happen to have similar levels of support among voters) where voters and policies are more important than those of the voters in 38+ predictable states that have just been 'spectators' and ignored after the conventions. The bill would take effect when enacted by states with a majority of the electoral votes—270 of 538. All of the presidential electors from the enacting states will be supporters of the presidential candidate receiving the most popular votes in all 50 states (and DC)—thereby guaranteeing that candidate with an Electoral College majority. The bill has passed 34 state legislative chambers in 23 rural, small, medium, large, red, blue, and purple states with 261 electoral votes. The bill has been enacted by 11 small, medium, and large jurisdictions with 165 electoral votes – 61% of the 270 necessary to go into effect. http://www.NationalPopularVote.com

  • Couldn't agree more about Clintons doing what is good for Clintons over country first. That said, can't believe you are resorting to the long debunked talking point that Obama had a filibuster proof majority and therefore could have passed immigration reform or anything else with ease. He may have had a simple majority but the republicans/McConnell et. al. made it perfectly clear that they would (and did) filibuster every measure that Democrats proposed, not to mention the fact that with DINOS like Bernie and Lieberman, the Dems never could have a filibuster proof majority (thank god). I'd have far preferred that Obama focused om infrastructure and immigration initially over the disastrous Obamacare but lets not pretend he had much choice considering the lines drawn by both sides long before the real battles began.

  • For the record, I didn't say the part about blacks murdered by other blacks, toward the end. I said simply blacks getting murdered.

  • Good article. You ask, toward the end, if BLM hates cops more than it cares about blacks murdered by other blacks. They may care deeply, but, if so, they've figured it's tactically necessary to hide it...... No, they don't care. Their goal is to inflame, and the goal of that is whatever Soros wants, whether they know it or not. Thing is, anybody to the left of FNC shows about the same degree of caring about blacks murdered by other blacks. Thing is, for an Accredited Victim Group, to be seen as victimized is a deposit in the moral authority bank. Thus the inflation of cop shootings. Being seen to victimize is a withdrawal. So Roderick Scott gets off by reason of self-defense, Chris Cervino is still dead and nobody has a clue who either of them are, nor why they've been stuffed down the memory hole. Except the guardians of the moral authority account who are nothing if not alert and active.

  • Completely agree. I suspect Raymond Cummings is correct that Hillary will be viciously attacked when she knocks off Trump. But so what? All presidents are. And as she might say, when speaking honestly, "I'm not a woman, I'm a president."

  • I know this is crazy late for this post, but I think this article really helped me gain a deeper appreciation of these books. Think of it this way, if you were a guy telling a story of your life, wouldn't you embellish it and say that every woman you ever met threw themselves at you? Severian's depiction of women's reaction to him specifically is entirely unbelievable. Either the writer is a hack, or it is the beauty of the unreliable narrator. Think about your comment about all of the dialogue sounding similar, wouldn't that be how the voice of past events would end up if you were recalling it years later? All the voices in the narrative are supplied by Severian's recollection. Is it lazy writing, or is it genius? You decide. Maybe a different look at the text might elevate your opinion.

  • So it's clear you can't stand Hillary, Mr. Harris. Does that mean you're voting for Trump?

  • Alan. Okay, you don't pay. Somebody does, if only the creditors whom you've stiffed, or the credit card company. Or somebody. Point is, only partly seriously, you create the demand that somebody has to pay for if you don't. Doesn't really matter for this case whether you pay or somebody else does. Cease asking to be warm in winter, cool in summer, having potable water at your fingertips, etc. Be a good sport.

  • Alan. Just for grins, go to Wiki and pick, say, the League of Cambrai. Follow the hyperlinks from one war to the next. Or start with Poltava. Or the Peace of Augsburg. A summer's high doesn't represent either the history of the world or its future. The environmental issues are done by people who are greedy for you money. You keep giving them money for energy, food, clothing, all that stuff. You're complicit. You should stop.

  • Well, the thing is, Picasso actually could paint like Raphael. Just look at his early work. I don't mean his Blue Period, I mean the stuff he was doing at age 14. Just check out "The Old Fisherman." Then again, I'm sure you know this already, and are just trying to grasp for page views with this illogical form of clickbait.

  • Not sure how one can "prove" an answer to the question posed. For that matter, how can one prove your question?

  • Then I must switch ground and say that, even if I didn't disprove your theory, I don't think you have proved it. Stubborn of me, of course.

  • My wife and I were just discussing how "bad experiences" ,like getting lost while traveling in a strange land, make for some of the most amusing and/or best memories. As for your reaction to getting lost in Luxembourg, I had the same experience in Amsterdam, although in my version I did smoke hash and brought a bucket of KFC back to my room to hide out for the rest of the night.

  • Good to know that I was there in '92. It was loud! I find it so funny that everyone expected the RNC to be a bloodbath, but it was really pretty uneventful. Only antics were Eric Andre and Tim Heidecker clowning Alex Jones and getting kicked off the floor. It was soooo much tamer than the DNC in 2004. I think that shows that we live in an age of "Telephone Tough Guys" or "Twitter Tough Guys." The rage we expected has been sublimated all along online.

  • I was surprised that that GameStop closed, not bummed though, haven't played video games in years. But people still buy games and spend hundreds of dollars on consoles. The demise of Other Music on the other hand is really depressing. Generation and Bleecker St. are great, but Other Music had personality...the others are fairly anonymous, and yes, thin...

  • Ouch! I just made a similar point to my father. He tried to explain to me that racism was far worse in his day and that those complaining today don't understand how far U.S. society has come. I, in turn, tried to explain that those who did not live at that time don't really give a shit about "how far we've come" but identify today's injustices as being as backward thinking as my father saw the last generations treatment of the same minorities. Bottom line, humans suck!

  • "The essential goodness of this nation" is something people my age have never known - between 9/11, two bungled wars, Katrina, the financial collapse, stolen elections, police brutality, and the curtailment of privacy, this country has been a mess for years. Hard to imagine how we can recover in less than fifty years.
