A modest proposal

I have nothing per se against attempts currently afoot to restart the campaign for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. However, given the recent state of affairs I would prefer, if we are going to spend political capital on amending the US Constitution, that we work to eliminate the electoral college system and move to a direct popular vote for President.

Just think. Had it been in place seven years ago. No Dubya. No Iraq. No lots of other things.
