Active duty military denied right to vote in Senate race in FL

[Gabu]

Two billion people in the red state. One million in all the others.



Should those two billion be able to decide everything?

That's an awfully crowded state.

[Gabu]

Isn't it the Senate's role to give underpopulated states representation?  It seems to me that those people would already have their representation.

[Gabu]

I propose that we admit Canada as the 51st state, and let them decide everything for us, since they have more land area than the US.

I like that idea.

In my ideal system, only intelligent people would be allowed to vote. Republican landslide, 100%.

So PhDs aren't intelligent?

Do you actually know many Ph D's?

Yes, I do.

And you wouls actually want them to be the entire electorate.

It was a response to Phillips 1/5 of an acre comments. Having a PhD is more of an accomplishment than owning 1/5 of an acre in some desert.

It depends how they got that land.  If someone working for thirty years to buy it, it would be a greater "accomplishment" than someone who's family gives him a lot of money to pursue some minor field.

It can go the other way too.  If someone works his butt off for years to get his doctorate in some major field, that would be a greater accomplishment than someone who inherited loads of money and/or land from wealthy parents.

The people as a whole pay to spread things like education throughout the state. So what?

House = Everyone
Senate = Landowners
Governor = 24

"24"?

Anyway, I'm still going to persist in saying that in your version, if it was the case, the House should be everyone else, excluding the landowners.  They're not so important that they need double representation.
