re: #246 Olsonist

We have a republican system passed down to us from the Romans. Intentionally. It was the founders intent as discussed in the Federalist Papers.

Going to proportional representation (which I’d like) is giving that up.

DF, so instead we let the less populous regions tyrannize the more heavily populated areas. New Mexico gets $2 in Federal spending for ever $1. CA gets $0.70.

I don’t see why letting Rhode Island roar as loud as CA is a good thing.

Because it’s the best way to maintain the peace. It greatly reduces the ability of anyone to simply run roughshod over the ideas of others from other parts of the country with whom they disagree.

But now I am grown weary and must sleep. Good Night, All.
