What matters is the least widest part of the pipe (Senate.) I'm ignoring it (H.R.,) because it is not the excuse (for the immoral Senate Design) that you think it is. That's a totally fair situation (H OF R.) Why would anyone have a problem with that legislative body? God forbid we all get the same representation for our taxation. Wow. It doesn't somehow balance out the evil done to some citizens in the Senate. Why should I act like it does? Brainwashing? Didn't take. Just because I learned all this stuff in Civics Class, doesn't mean I think it's a fair way to do it. I think that's where we disagree. You think just because you get some weird immoral rationalization in Civics Class, then you need to buy into it. Civics Class gives you the rationalization for the bad design. IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S CORRECT. They counted slaves as 3/5 citizens. Do you buy into that just because you read it in Civics Class? I ignored the House of Rep, because it is not the balance weight you people state it to be. Someone in a large state is simply equally represented in that body. That, in no way, is a balance to giving some Americans more say in the Senate than other Americans. There is no balance here. That is simply flawed thinking that people follow like sheep. They aren't the lil beautiful oil n' vinegar balancing combo that you're brainwashed into thinking it is.
