Good Work, Mike

If you need any evidence of how damaged our electoral system is, consider this list, which I have shamelessly stolen from the Washington Post:


Where Bloomberg spent on ads, and where he won vote 
In states with at least 95 percent of precincts reporting
STATE SPENDING PER VOTE
Minn. $220
Tex.            $170
Vt.              $170
Ala.           $170
Okla. $130
Tenn. $100
N.C. $90  
Va.               $60


The fact that such a thing is even possible in our country is a condemnation of not just our electoral system but the economic unfairness that has placed the resources in individual hands to tamper with elections this way.  And the fact that it didn't work means nothing; if we let this go on, soon these super-rich, self-entitled sociopaths will find a way to make it work, unless we stop them. And that requires action far beyond limits on campaign spending, to see to it that nobody has the means to engage in this sort of behavior.  A large part of the wealth of these few hundred families must be sacrificed to protect hundreds of millions of us from oligarchy and dictatorship, and to hell with their "right" to be that rich.  The alternative is disaster.

As stated by Stanford Medical, It's indeed the ONLY reason women in this country live 10 years more and weigh an average of 19 kilos less than us.

(And realistically, it really has NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret exercise and EVERYTHING to do with "HOW" they eat.)

P.S, What I said is "HOW", and not "what"...
