Lived under

I've lived under rain, wind, snow, flood, fire, etc. etc. And blue skys, warm balmy weather. None of that was sucky. It was what it was.

You have lived in three places for what -- each not many years -- but you know all the tides and times of what is good and bad in politic, eh?

I think the US founding documents and theories are grand -- among the best things fashioned by the efforts of men. Yet in them -- no two party system. Washington was sickened by the party politics. He held a hope that the general public could rise above such insider-versus-outsider, blue team versus green team inanity as a subsitute for character, for integrity, for faithful, diligent, honest stewardship of our nation ruled according to our charter of it.

Washington seemed to favor a no-party system. I'm favoring a multi-party system -- for in such systems the political ideals are better carried -- a vote is for an idea, and not the current vote for for a person or a "party".

Did the weather ever shoot at you for trying to buy food?

Fourteen years and eight years. And more then three places. don't know where you got that idea. And perhaps having lived under them a little I might just possibly know a tad bit about how those systems do and do not work yes.

Please point out one multi-party system for which this is true.
