Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!

Change the two party system
so people against something like abortion
but for something like environmental protection never again get bigger and badder storms
and two bankrupting wars instead.


Make the Electoral College a permanent government body with seat distribution proportional to the party tally in each state and give it the right to approve cabinet members and under secretaries instead of the US Senate!

    Wo5 Spenser Workman

    Spenser Workman Wo5 was the son of James Workman Wo6 and Christiana Fitzpatrick Fi6. Born: 4 July 1822 in Bourbon Co., Ky.

    Married: Martha Neaves Ne5
    Died: 23 jan. 1893 in Robertson Co. Ky. near Mt. Olivet, Ky.
    Buried: Old Corinth Church

    Spencer Workman was a landowner and ran a general store. He built the Old Corinth Church, where he is buried. (Susan Jane Mitchell Mi4 was buried here)
    The unusual first name suggests some sort of Spenser lineage, which would most likely be over his mother. But there is no sign of this being the case. Spenser Workman Wo5 and Martha Neaves Ne5 had issue:

    The author´s paternal chr 3, 9 11,15, 16 and 17 seem to have Workman or Neaves DNA along the colored ranges, while the other shorter ranges may be from more remote common ancestors. In the middle of chr 8 the author also seems to have a longer segment that has been spoused off for Jones and Jakowiak somewhere along their differing lines of descent

    Kit M051442 matches me in several places, the longest on chr 15 and two more to the left of it. Much the same for A853768 as well as M047104. M340441 different places and shorter. M455336 has the long one on chr 15 and just one different one on chr 1. The latter segment shows up in M206556 and one on chr 5, while M289581 has this one on 1 and a very long one on 15 that spans above said triple. M784802 brings a long match on chr 13, one on chr 12 and one at the other end of chr 1. M311640 a longer match on chr 10, and a different one on chr 15 M509591 no match over threshold.
