A Tea Party Without Nuts

A Tea Party Without Nuts by Thomas L. Friedman

He makes, in my opinion, a very good case for some of the ideas we need to implement lest we let the radical sides of our political system take the reins.

If anyone wants the tl;dr version

Alternative voting is a good idea

As well as an independent, politically neutral, Citizens Redistricting Commission.

I really liked that article. Thanks, Blind. I've been hearing the cries of a return of Rockefeller Republicans a few times in the last week or so for the sake of balance, but this seems like a really attractive idea that I'd hope would catch-on. Alternative voting would indeed be something I'd be interested in, but I can imagine there would be some reluctance to adopt it in the future for fear of some constitutional abortion of our rights to polarize or some such. lol

Also, Phonics, your avatar makes me really happy, most likely due to the release of KRABKATOA.
