I've seen talk of democrats abolishing the electoral college and adding more justices to the Supreme Court. That would be disastrous in both cases. IMO


I've heard the same. And it's all in the name of power and absolute control. Never for the good of the people or the nation.

It seems, in 2016, the electoral college did not work as designed. We definitely got someone not suited to the position.


???The electoral college worked as installed to keep densely populated states from selecting a president each time.
Hilliar won the popular vote, with most of the ballots in Spanish.

It seems like one in three threads these days are about socialism... And that each of the OPP's members has an opinion concerning how it is being applied to America...

This weeks Definitions is dedicated to gaining a better understanding of what the term 'socialism' means to each of our members...

I invite all to share their perceptions and opinions on:

What is 'socialism'?

What are the dangers (if any) that it poses?

To what degree (if any) should it be allowed in the USA?

There’s an old story worth retelling about a band of wild hogs which lived along a river in a secluded area of Georgia. These hogs were a stubborn, ornery, independent bunch. They had survived floods, fires, freezes, droughts, hunters, dogs and everything else. No one thought they could ever be captured.

One day a stranger came into town not far from where the hogs lived and went into the general store. He asked the storekeeper, “Where can I find the hogs? I want to capture them.” The storekeeper laughed at such a claim but pointed in the general direction. The stranger left with his one-horse wagon, an ax and a few sacks of corn.

Two months later, he returned, went back to the store, and asked for help to bring the hogs out. He said he had them all penned up in the woods. People were amazed and came from miles around to hear him tell the story of how he did it.

“The first thing I did,” the stranger said, “was to clear a small area of the woods with my ax. Then I put some corn in the center of the clearing. At first, none of the hogs would take the corn. Then after a few days, some of the young ones would come out, snatch some corn, and then scamper back into the underbrush. Then the older ones began taking the corn, probably figuring that if they didn’t get it, some of the other ones would. Soon they were all eating the corn. They stopped grubbing for acorns and roots on their own.

“About that time, I started building a fence around the clearing, a little higher each day. At the right moment, I built a trap door and sprung it. Naturally, they squealed and hollered when they knew I had them, but I can pen any animal on the face of the earth if I can first get him to depend on me for a free handout!”

I have also heard they want to abolish it.. Good thing it would take an amendment to our Constitution.. Of course they weren’t complaining when BO was elected or Clinton etc...

Like gerrymandering, not a problem for them when winning...

Solar power and wind... Lots of investment in those areas... Green energy is a growing field..


And I was told that in major cities there were only government firework displays... So Maybe things are changing... Need to check it out... Could just be a rumor....

Are government fireworks better than government cheese?

I remember reading China was number 1 followed by Japan, Germany and then the US.. That was sometime back so it may not be the same now....?? In Solar, don’t know about wind.. I like Geo energy, a Renewable energy source.. Also very low in CO2 transmission..
Also one of the cheapest out there to use.. used from the natural resources as well.. I really like that~~

So, please define China’s political views as they seem to be moving away from their communistic upbringing maybe drifting to a socialist state of affairs??
I’m curious what you believe...

I haven't seen any, which is why I thought the government made it.
