To add to this, during their various debates and declarations, state legislatures of Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia all explicitly gave slavery as the primary reason for their attempt to destroy the United States government. So literally more than half.

I really like Ernst’s work, and am kinda surprised Holywood hasnt made a biopic about his life yet. Pretty much believed his pet bird from his childhood that died was reincarnated as his sister. Had no formal artistic training other than being interested in the art of patients living in asylums. Fought in WWI. Was part of a thrupple in France.

When WWII broke out he was arrested by the French for being German. Then France fell and he was arrested by the Gestapo for his surrealist art (and preciously having married a Jewish woman). Escaped and fled to America until the 50’s.

Setting more limits on campaign donations would also be a big help.

But only as a means to keeping/retaining their own power and campaign contributions. If the people could outspend monied interests more conveniently most would probably be out on the streets a lot more shaking hands and kissing babies.

Still easier to understand than the Silmarillion.
