text: The author says that Astronomers are facinated with Venus because it may well once have been the most earth-like planet in our solar system. The astronomers wan tot get a better understandimg of this planet as people may one day be able to set foot on it with enough research put in place. They need to understand the climate and the atmsphere before they can send any manned space shuttles there. The author said that unmanned space shuttles have been sent there before but havnt been sent in a long time because many of the shuttles would not manage to land in the harsh climate, and if they did they did not last long on the planets surface. Studying Venus maore would help astronomers understand how to better their space shuttles and make them work well, land, and last longer.   In the world that we live in today, every individuals opinoin matters. When you are voting, you want to be sure that you have a stand for what our voting for. The only way to effectivly do this, is to get rid of the electoral collage. The electoral collage is not nessacary because they just over ride the peoples votes in thier own way when the president has hired them to represent him.
