I do wish that Gerrymandering would become illegal. It is stupid.
The New Classified Ad System is live. Please head here for details: https://gulfcoastgunforum.com/threads/new-classified-ad-system-tutorial.112735/
The US is a Democratic Republic....the Democrats (majority rules) the Republicans (equal representation)...the House and the Senate, respectively. The 17th amendment changed the way senators were appointed...moving from appointment by the state's legislatures to as popular, national vote. On that day the republic took a big negative step backwards. The eletcoral college is another "representative" institution and if you value your way of life, think verrry carefully about advocating for elimination of the electoral college.
Democracy fails when the majority oppress the minority...as is sure to happen over time. California, New York and Illinois would dominate our lives....see ya AR-15's, 30 round magazines, heck...guns altogether eventually. Unfunded mandates such as Obamacare would not have passed before the 17th amendment...most states actually balance their budget and all programs must be funded before becoming law in that scenario. Our opportunity to better ourselves would evaporate before our eyes as there would be a 'ruling class' and us peasants....don't you find it interesting that some of the most horrible places on earth have elections too...but still they are crummy places to live...far worse than choosing between a career criminal in Hillary and a bombastic businessman in Trump.
As always, be careful what you wish for as you might get it!
