To promote the establishment of runoff elections everywhere in the United States so that no one will be elected to any office without receiving more than 50 percent of the vote, eliminating the current system where someone gets elected by only receiving a plurality of the vote, which sometimes results in someone being elected with less than the majority of the votes.
To promote the establishment of other political parties beyond the current two parties.
To promote compromise among parties and people in the establishment and execution of laws.
To protect the rights of the majority and the minority.

Medical Disclaimer
I am not a doctor, and this article does not pretend to offer medical advice, but information.
After my experience with sloppy blood-pressure-measuring procedures in a medical office that led a doctor to telling me that I had high blood pressure, when I didn’t, I decided to research correct procedures and share my experience with others.
It is strongly recommended that readers do their own research to learn for themselves. To help in researching, I have placed many links in this article (and at the end of the article) about proper procedures that are not only recommended by individual doctors, but are also recommended by the medical community, which is trying to get the word out to doctors about poor practices in medical offices that need to be eliminated—and replaced with proper procedures.
It should also be noted that all the procedures discussed in this article are for an average-sized adult. For adults who are way outside the average in height, weight and health, they should be aware that these differences could effect procedures, including considerations about cuff height.
Procedures can also be different for children, and parents should be consulting with a doctor, but that doesn’t mean that every doctor is always doing everything correctly, even for children. Parents should always seek out correct procedures on their own and educate themselves and ask questions.
I also do not discuss any blood pressure numbers. That’s a whole new discussion, and there is not absolute number that is correct. All doctors do not absolutely agree on this, and the standards in the U.S. and other parts of the world do not agree. Again, study this for yourself.
Walking Naturally You Connect to the Ground with Two Points; With Poles It’s Four Points
The problem is that when a hiker with poles is ready to make a steep step down [a rocky trail], instead of using their body’s leg strength and natural balancing ability, they use the poles. When people walk without poles, they only have to find two points to connect to the ground: their two legs. With poles, they have to find four points, and two of those points are going to take some of the body’s weight, even most of it at times. This is one way that causes them [hikers with poles] to go slower.
All our lives, we learn to walk with two contact points to the ground. Then poles come along and make it four. You couldn’t design a more confusing way to screw up the walking and balancing habits that come from [a lifetime of] walking and from evolution. At some point, the body can’t go back to the normal way of walking; it’s too late.
