I can think of a couple of instances where you refused to admit you were wrong when your predictions didnt come true.

America needs a Voters' Bill of Rights, i.e. something to eliminate the worst abuses of our system and allow the ordinary citizen to think there might be some point to voting in elections; what we have now is vanishingly close to a one-party system. A minimal list of items I'd like to have in such a list would be:

* 1. The most major item: Runoff Elections. Nobody should ever fear to vote his first choice, at least on a first ballot, and nobody should ever hold any public office with less than 50% of the vote.

* 2. A "None of the Above" choice on all elections for public office. And whenever this None of the Above" choice wins, the other candidates should be barred for life from running for public offices [..].

* 3. An outright guarantee against vote fraud [..]. To me this means that somehow or other, individual votes have to be traceable.

<snip>

* 5. An update to the impeachment process: if a president is ever impeached and removed, his vice president goes out the door with him, and the office is handed over to the oldest person of his party in the US Senate on condition that he never run for the office again. [..]


Oh yikes. I agree with all of the above - I think those are good ideas. Now I'm scared.
