Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said it, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

Well, what brought that on?

In response about my last post.

TL, whom I have the greatest respect for posted this. Please, go read.

I agree with him on every point but one. When he talks about the representation limits set in 1929, I feel, That he is missing one serious point. The representation is almost spot on, and exactly what was intended!!!!

Whats my logic? Look at how a serious red state can be dominated by blue politics because of population concentration. I’m using Virginia as my example right now, but it can be applied to NY state/NYFC and many others. If representation were proportionate to population (30,000:1 was the basis before 1929) then the concentration of metropolises would dominate ALL politics and those of us on the outskirts would be or would have been “boxcar”ed a long time ago.

The issue is not just a representation issue. Its an ethics of population issue. That will not be cured with government reform, it has to start at a much baser level: at the level of the smallest minority, the individual.

Good luck with that given our academic/media outlet structure.

    Point taken, it was more a matter that I think there are a lot of cross currents to politics that are obliterated when one person represents 750,000. For instance, not all blacks want gun control or support abortion, but because they want other things from the Dems, they go along with it. There’s no ability to break those off and fractionalize the party.
