Ok, Max, I get what you're alluding to. The electoral system is slightly flawed, but it usually works without any problems. There were specific reasons for it's inception and apparently no one has introduced a better system that everyone will agree on, so it's there. Plus, that only pertains to the presidential election, nothing with Congress, which is more important anyway.

But musick, I'd love to know what you're talking about. I still hold that public office is by far not the most efficient method of personal gain. Even if you do get elected, there are so many levels of legislation and so much media coverage that it would be near impossible to do something sneaky.

Maybe I'm just naive, but y'all sound like weirdo conspiracy theorists.
