[extropy-chat] speaking of electoral college

Sorry, Joseph, tried to send you a private message but
it went to extropy-chat as well.  
Anyway so much conspiracy theory exists that to this

demonstrates how so many don't understand America
isn't a democracy, it's a democratic republic-- the
electoral college is part of this.
