[QUOTE="lkjh, post: 58795"] The democratic minority in the senate actually represents a majority of the american people ??? When did the U.S. senate begin representing the American people? Answer: Never. Representatives represent "the American people." Thats why theyre called representatives and their number is determined by population. Senators embody the interests of their particular *state* - even when/if it diverges from the interests of the people of that state. Always have, always will. Thats why each state gets two, and each senator gets one vote - regardless of population. They were intended to address issues and deal with the business at hand WITHOUT pressure from the general public. Thats why they were originally intended to be chosen by the state legislature and not by direct election. I get a kick out of that type of thing. I saw it broadcast a couple of years back on one of the local cable access channels that purports to address issues of teens. It was one of those shows thats supposed to be hip and presents the kids that participate as being knowledgeable and "educated." Anyway, the minority girl stands up and says something very profound My senators are both white males and they dont represent me! LOL. Shes too ignorant to understand that yes, honey, they dont represent you by design or function or anything else. Civics, Latin, grammar they're all subjects that can be formally declared dead.
