FDR spoke of four fundamental freedoms: Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom from Want, Freedom from Fear.[Some Presidents are gooder speakers than others.
Four
Five
In “The Fifth Element”, the fifth element turned out to be love. The election results will reveal whether love still has any power in America.
Six
In six of the last seven elections, the Democratic candidate for President has won the popular vote. The people have spoken regarding the Electoral College.
Seven
According to FiveThirtyEight, the chance of Trump winning is slightly less than that of rolling a seven with two dice. That is too high. Vote.
Eight
With eight Justices, the people’s will is a landslide. With nine, one party will do their best to crush that will. Get your vote counted.
Nine
Nine Justices sacred? We started with six. Then seven, nine, ten, seven, nine. Had Hillary won, the GOP said they would have stuck with eight.
Ten
The Roman numeral for ten is X, which consists of two V’s. Each V represents a hand (five fingers). The point? I dunno, just vote.
Eleven
Eleven is the atomic number of sodium, one of two elements in salt. The world is very salty right now. We could use more sugar.
Twelve
The Twelfth Amendment attempted to make sense of the Electoral College. But sense has remained socially distant from the Electoral College since its very beginning.
Thirteen
In 1776, thirteen colonies declared to the world they no longer wished to be under the rule of a mad king. I know the feeling.
