For Want of a Nail

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


For want of a nail derives from a proverb-turned-poem which traces its origins as far back as the 14th century (making this Older than Print).  Probably the most well-known version is the one which appeared in Benjamin Franklin’s Poor Richard’s Almanac:

  • For want of a nail, the shoe was lost;
  • For want of a shoe, the horse was lost;
  • For want of a horse, the rider was lost;
  • For want of a rider, the message was lost;
  • For want of the message, the battle was lost;
  • For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost,
  • And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Let’s not lose the United States of America for want of a vote!

      I try my best to never post to these sites…i know they’re logging every comment and every person…but I have to say this….

      Why is it that people think that their vote or anyone elses means a damn??? When exactly did the popular vote matter??? Isn’t it all about the delegates and their vote???? To insinuate or try to coerce the poor sheeple to do a task that is both a waste of their time, and the show of the PTB’s indirect control over their lives, is a joke and an outrage.
