Don't get me wrong. I am a yuuuge fan of the electoral college, but other than that, due to most of the Constitutional amendments, we are...in fact...a democracy, purely at the state and local level, heck, even at the federal level.
Ever hear of the 17th Amendment? Yeah. Now all it takes is 51% of your "peers" to elect a Senator to a 6 year term.

But I digress. This thread was about "right to work."

Having read most of your arguments, I'd have to spend hours listing all of your logical fallacies so far. And I've got better things to do...Like reading Flying The Line.
