hedwards: I get really tired of Europeans saying this kind of crap about the US. The number of parties is completely immaterial to the question of democracy. Whether you have 1 party or 2 dozen parties makes no difference. I
iippo: *cough*
Might want to live and follow politics of some foreign country with several parties.
You know two party system is just one step away from...guess what?
A 3 party system?
Anyways, if you're going to lecture me about living where there's a different system, then you really should take your own advice. We have more than just 2 parties here and even if you ignore the tiny ones, you still have plenty of diversity within the parties.
Like I said earlier, if you're going to make this kind of absurd claim, you should at least bother to understand our system. The GOP alone is made up of what are really 3 different parties, and the Democrats are made up of at least as many. The fact that they're all under the same name, does not mean that there isn't diversity there.
When we took the parties out of the nomination process, we wound up with no fewer than 11 different parties on the ballot that first election. Previously, they would all have been either GOP or Democratic, same exact range of choices.
hedwards: Because the evidence has been examined and evolution is the only reasonable theory that doesn't run afoul of it. It shows up in DNA, in fossil, there's geological records that help explain the distribution and subsequent separation of subspecies.
mystikmind2000: The evidence only explains what it is 'assumed' to explain - this is the whole point of my question! Just once, i would like to see something that has no human assumption attached to it.
So, I take it every time you see a door, you walk up to it, turn the knob and open it, just to make sure that it's actually a door.
