I might reply to myself, as David noted on another subject (about the
Whig Party),
the alt.history.furuture may be a better newsgrouop to give my
opinions about
the electoral college; however, the "alt." groups seem to be infested
by trolls
and strange people who exploit the newsgroups by adding entries that
have
NOTHING to do with history- there is swearing and dirty language with
sexual
inuendos that make some people not want to read them.

Again, I ask: is there a "soc.history.future" group??
