it seems that if it changed, it would mean that everyone has equal power. instead those who own more land, and therefore decrease population density, have more power

This proves what this movement is. Just trying to sway people with no real legitamate argument. Whether you like or hate Bush is no real reason to change the system. The electoral college protects smalls states from being overrun by BIG states like California or Florida. Obama's campaign manager himself said without the elecotral system he would have had to spend all their time on coastal regions and high poplulated areas and ignore the low populated states. People use your brains.

@jacobew2000 Sorry, I must have been so high when I wrote this that I did not even realize that I was in an argument.

What is with all the "quotes"? Is this some sort of ironic great nation? I am, however, glad to see you stopped with the all caps.

[jacobew2000]

@bonelessjesus, and you need to use your mind in an arguement instead of lowering the status of ur arguements to that of "IDIOT speaking here", by using curse words. People might actually consider your arguement, for a second, if you hadnt used that profanity.

Sometimes the "minority" is wrong, btw. As I believe in this case.

I actually agree with you in the sense that we do speak English in the USA, and need a common language and culture to be a "great nation". Have a good day...

@bonelessjesus, unfortunately, they use the same exagerated clause of 14th amendment to also ban guns, freedom of religion of students in schools, healthcare, etc etc, and override the states rights. I believe that drugs like marajuana, are extremely dangerous to the public, and should be banned anywhere possible, whether at the state or national level. The FDA has great control under federal law of anything that is considered a "drug", and that is why States rights arguement fail miserably!

@jacobew2000

We are a republic of states and not a country governed by a tyrannical majority. The founding fathers intended to respect the rights of all sovereign states.

We speak English here; motherfucker.

[jacobew2000]

We are a REPUBLIC of states, and not a country governed by one or two states with the most amount of people. Our founding fathers had much foresight to see that and to honor and respect the rights of EACH and EVERY state.
