Having everyone dress alike and stay in 3 lines, is no better than having only 2 lines.
We have a Republic for a reason. A damned good reason, too.
Representatives with a "license" beyond the majority vote is a

In my opinion, this country forgot what all that is about decades ago. Sadly I have to agree with a man named Paul Craig Roberts, when about 5 years ago he observed,
"It may be that the American people are no longer educated, or interested enough to sustain a free society."
Still there is hope.
