Arabian PetalsPublished 3 years ago in The SwampThe Black Man Guide to the American Constitution
When you listen to what is happening with in our own government, you have to ask yourself, How did we get here? I never was into politics when i was younger, it's because my parents never instilled in me to become invested in it. It was pay your taxes and let them handle it. However,When you get older, your eyes open and you begin to see that what happens in Washington, DC, really does affect what happens to you at home. And then you have to ask yourself, what can you do to make things work? What can you contribute that will add to the discourse that can perhaps make things better. I thought long and hard, and i decided that maybe this could be my way to help.

In order to properly develop as a nation-state, the Commonwealth of Australia should become a parliamentary republic.

Rich MonettiPublished 3 years ago in The SwampThe Plague is Here. Now Let's Bring Back the Cooler Historical Trends.
History is fascinating! I don’t mean the textbook Western Civ classes that we were forced to take in college (or sleep through in my case). I mean history as a whole, the continuous evolution of everything that humans have ever created or had contact with. It’s amazing to think of how far we have come in the few years (as far as the Earth’s chronology is concerned) that humans have been here. As much as we have progressed however, I can’t help but feel that we have left a lot of things behind that should have followed us. There has been so much greatness through different cultures, different eras, and different genres that have been mostly forgotten.

Dear George Washington, You'd be disgusted if you were to see what has happened to this country since you left office. You put the United States on a straight and narrow road and we broke that pavement. It seems like we jumped off that road straight into the river.

Paula C. HendersonPublished 3 years ago in The SwampThe Electoral College
The Electoral College, this discussion only becomes a hot topic every four years, when we all should be putting our heads together to get rid of it. This lesson may become a little boring, but it is something I felt needed to be discussed. Why have we kept this practice for so long, the nation is large enough today to allow the popular vote to speak for itself.

The inauguration of the president of the United States is a ceremony that marks the beginning of a new four-year term. This ritual takes place even if the sitting president will continue in office for a second term as with Barack Obama in 2012. The inaugural service has been taking place at noon EST on January 20, since the 1981 swearing in of Ronald Reagan. This ceremony is held at the west front of the United States Capitol facing the National Mall. This view allows the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument to be seen from a distance. President elect Joe Biden will be sworn in on January 20, 2021.

The Kennedys are the closest thing the United States has gotten to a royal family. They have been prominent figures in American politics, business, public service and entertainment over the last 60 years. They even have their own coat of arms that was granted to President John F. Kennedy in 1961 by the Chief Herald of Ireland.
