Why do we have the Electoral College? why should a select few decide who gets our states Votes? it is an old system which is out dated and not really reflecting what the people want, Why Vote if it means nothing sense the Electoral College is what decides who's voted into Office

This thread already shows why america is starting to suck wind... no one actually does research before they throw their opinions around. There no longer is a timed reasoning before you open your mouth and speak.

Blooze, I was identifying with the beginning of the thread, not the answer from that second post.  An incidental look into american government may have helped the first poster to answer his question.

I fly with 21 when he's on.  The rest of the squad I hardly ever see.  77 sometimes.

No currently I don't have a squad.  I do not make commitments to things I might not be able to follow through on.  I consider joining a squad a commitment to said squad, and flying with them during some squad nights is required, otherwise why join?  Is this indicative of my lack of intellect now?  Something that you are going to belittle me on... your attention to trite details overshadowing larger issues is mind numbing.
