(43,281 posts)the Electoral College meant to filter public opinion and prevent what they knew as mob (masses) control, came to be a mechanism for allowing foreign interests to supercede public opinion and foreign interests to seize control of America
A colonial era security flaw

As for PEI, because it was a Island for so long (didnt have a bridge til about 30 years ago) we are pretty in-bred. Lucy Maude is some cousin thrice removed or so. My dad used to walk past Green Gables on his way to school.
It is a very interesting place for ancestory.
Thanks so much for bringing back memories.

Kinder Surprise, also known as Kinder Egg[1][2] or Kinder Surprise Egg,[3][4][2] is a candy manufactured by the Italian company Ferrero SpA since 1974. It was co-created by Michele Ferrero and William Salice, and is one of several candies sold under the Kinder brand. Each chocolate egg surrounds a plastic capsule that contains a small toy.
The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act prohibits confectionery products which contain a non-nutritive object, unless the non-nutritive object has functional value.[40] Essentially, the Act bans "the sale of any candy that has embedded in it a toy or trinket".

I hate the things. Just another ploy to get kids to eat more sugar and drive their parents insane.
