Doing this would effectively weaken the two party system because it would be easier for people with a specific agenda like environment, balanced budget, or abortion to get elected. It would make it easier to get the government to work because creating temporary coalitions over various legislation would be easier. It also means people would feel like their vote is being counted.

Their is no reason to do it the way we do now other than to establish a two party system. That two party system is the cause of all kinds of rancor and it makes it easier for the corporate oligarchy's an opportunity to control our govt.

The two party system is just a tag-team.

Keith Raniere Nxivm trial: Why it's so hard to stop a cult

There is a trial in NY for a sex cult. One of the key pillars holding this thing up is legal abortions. Women enslaved and abused were also required to get abortions. Clearly abortion should not be "no questions asked". Anyone who has pushed that idea needs to feel responsibility for enabling this kind of abuse.

Why women would fall for Raniere to the point of being branded with a wood burning tool.

With cults of all kinds out there, it makes me very concerned for the young ones growing up in this world today. Specially those growing up in cults, like the local church.

It's no surprise to me that Raniere forced the women he impregnated to get an abortion. Even those legislating against abortion do that to their mistresses.

I figured out a Christian way to resolve the entire death penalty debate. Every single person convicted of a crime that gets a life sentence should be given the option to choose the death penalty. That would be consistent with the golden rule -- do unto others as you would have them do to you. I would want the option.

If I was ever convicted of a crime falsely and given life imprisonment I would definitely choose the death penalty. Once you are on death row you are given many more appeals, free legal help and generally scientists and others will assist in your defense pro bono as well. It would give you the best chance to exonerate yourself.

From a Christian Biblical literalistic point of view, if the death penalty was good enough for Jesus it's good enough for anybody.

The real myth is that there never was a Palestine :

Joel 3:4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
