Interesting read. Lest anyone get upset at me for posting this hatefact, I'll just point out that I'm not all that in favor of anyone having suffrage.

If government is the answer, it must have been a really, really, really stupid question.

I've had a sense this may have been the case. Good to see someone has actually run the numbers.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I remember seeing something like this before.   (Most) Women vote for those who would provide safety and security. (physical and well as financial), hence the rise of liberalism.



Eta:  Yep, this is from 1999.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Everything's been going downhill since we stopped dragging them by the hair into our cave  >:D   =D
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Its hard to argue that there were any non-deleterious amendments to the constitution between 1913-1920.
