A couple of years ago there was a garage sale that was advertised with vintage audio equipment, a hobby of mine. As I was digging through the vinyl the two old codgers throwing the thing were arguing about which amendment ruined the US. One was saying the 19th, I dont remember the other ones opinion. I got a couple of finds and went up to pay. I told them they were both wrong and went into a lengthy explanation about how the 17th made us a democracy and not a republic. They gave me the vinyl, and threw in some electro voice drivers they had 25 bucks on but are worth about 300.
Right behind 17 is 16, which finances the monster in DC. Shut off its blood supply, it dies.
Now that would be a fun thread...which Amendment has damaged America more? 17th or 19th? As for me? 19th.
A great story.
Now that’s a great story.
