[QUOTE]Originally posted by SeekingFreedom: [QB] zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Sorry, nodded off for a minute... Glass, thanks for the history lesson.... But it doesn't dispute anything I wrote. The smaller states were afraid that the more populous states (read slave owning states) would dictate national policy. Because of this, they demanded that they be given equal voting rights, which of course the larger states would have nothing to do with. This deadlock was what caused the two house system to be adopted. By numerical equality in the Senate and by number of reps in the House an equilibrium was sought. True, both sides have added innummerable rules of conduct not found in the Constitution (see Rangel's current ethics issues), but that doesn't change the Founder's wisdom in this form of Republic based government. Let's look at the House Model for a min: http://www.ehdp.com/vitalnet/reps.htm If we had a ruling body based soley on population, smaller states would literally not have a voice. Using the House of Reps model, California with its 53 reps could literally dictate policy to the Nation by overridding the will of the populations of Alaska, Deleware, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Arkansas, Kansas, Mississippi, Iowa, and Oregon....and STILL have 3 more votes... If you got them, Texas, New York and Florida inline...they would rule over all 46 other states. Four state making policy for all... THAT is why we have a Senate. As for the number of jobs 'created of saved'? We've been over this many times. The counting system used has changed several times and they STILL haven't found one that they can hold out and say that it [i]proves[/i] they've helped that many families. None of them, Glass. The Rigs? My beef is that the Federal Government thinks that it's ok to simply shut down privately owned rigs with no reason other than they 'might' have issues. That sounds alot more like a Dictatorship then a Constitutional Republic. [/QB][/QUOTE]
