  @cfrank @Toby-Pereira
  Thx for the tag assist. I live I learn!
  I pray to the universal equalness of all people living today that we, somehow, achieve heaven on earth where life is good and that the future is promising. I pray that wars, poverty, climate destruction, depression, resignation are all things of the past. I make this prayer to god (as defined above) and that we realize our full human potential quickly and completely with no offsetting quid pro quo or "bad twist ending theater" to "balance out" this prayer. Amen.
  That's how I pray. For a lot of stuff. To me, the one truism is the equaleness of all people. This one simple, self-evident fact, is the fuel that, with an appropriate efficient engine, can get us to where we all want to be.
  So how do we funnel our equalness, all 8 billion's worth, into running this shit show?
  The two burning questions 1) can we do it? Is there some way to harness the whim of all people, without anyone playing god and predetermining a rule book that can and will be exploited to nefarious ends? and 2) should we do it? If we have a machine that fits the bill, would it be a good idea to turn it on?
  So anyhow, I apologize for not directly responding to your notes. The Federalist Papers, Constitution Convention, Pre-amble etc. are of great interest to me. I'm just trying to do something that is very different that I think will really help. Kind of, sort of, like Chastain's NASCAR wall ride. Hilarious btw if you haven't seen it!
  As always, if at anytime I cross your perceived line of sanity, I apologize and of course don't expect a response.

  Thanks, makes sense, that is what I thought regarding the term Copeland winner.

  I admit I find it odd that, given how important Condorcet and the emphasis on pairwise wins is in voting theory, that this simple concept (candidates with the most pairwise wins, whether singular or multiple candidates) doesn't have a commonly used term or terms to refer to it.

  @spelunker Glad to see you aren't gone forever over it.

  @Jack-Waugh will say that his role isn't moderator and is mostly just the technical job of putting up the forum, but at the end of the day, it is important that people with such roles be more careful about such things.
