I had hoped that I had written my last political post, but such naivety is out of character for me. Accordingly, I offer another rant as we begin our assault on the Electoral College and UNFAIRNESS of not allowing the popular vote to select our presidents.

The bomb planted in Boston in 2013 and the recent New York, New Jersey bomb incident may be proof that bomb laws do not work. Neither does gun laws. I wonder why our President did not immediately demand more "COMMON SENSE BOMB LAWS."
