Wrong thread?

The use of 'between' here is a bit ambiguous. Between the two wars, as in the toll of the two wars? Or between as in the time that elapsed between the two wars. The UN sanctions have resulted in an estimated 500,000 Iraqi children deaths, not the two wars. No it doesn't. Show me a body count that exceeds 25,000. Irony, thou art cruel.

Give me some time! I'm pretty busy till thursday. However, I will reinstall the arcade as soon as I can!

Looks like it was an ad in the washington post.

I can already hear the lawyers suiting up.

Of course you are.

The problem with that is that the president would essentially be elected according to the population needs of the urban areas (New York, Florida, etc.) States like North Dakota would have essentially 0 statistical say in who gets elected president. All a president would have to do is run on a platform that appeals to people in major urban states, and the rest of the states don't really matter.

Bush will probably win.

Interesting. What would happen if, say, Kerry won by 90/10, would that be reflected in the electoral votes from Colorado or would it still be 5/4?

5614, you should probably give the author of that quote credit in your signature c_dawg, don't you think it's wrong to mislead people who are seeking honest help?

I say "no". I think it serves its purpose well, although it has unintended consequences (just look at campaign trails). Nevertheless, without it, the smaller states would have their needs dwarfed by the needs of larger states. There are some good arguments over whether or not a president should be elected without the popular vote, and whether or not this was an unintended consequence of the system. I lean towards the notion that the authors of the electoral college recognized this but felt it was justifiable, especially in light of the aforementioned reasoning behind the college. What do you think?

If this is for a junior highschool project, a pendulum would probably suffice. You'd have to make sure you raise the pendulum to the same height every time, and you'd also have to make sure the ball is placed in the exact same spot every time. There are other variables, but for a junior high project that would probably be fine. Sounds like a good experiment. Do you have a hypothesis?

There's a thread running in the politics forum. I'm closing this one.

The day after elections we will return to normal. I hope.

There's a clear line between pointing out what you think are fallacies, lies, smoke-screening, etc, and blatantly insulting someone. Please don't cross that line
