[Note: this post was originally published on 14 December 2009, hence the date in the title. I have put this post back at the top of the blog because I still feel strongly about this issue. Our calendar should begin at least as far back as 4236 B.C. and there are reasons why it could…

“…elections without integrity, elections that are rigged, elections that are corrupt, create enormous problems for societies…” Report of the Global Commission on Elections, Democracy and Security will be available for download 14 September 2012. As this is being written, the United States is in the midst of its most significant electoral process, that for President…
