Democrat vs. Republican

What does that tell you about our society when people of color are afraid of other people of color more than they are white people.

Do you believe there are white people afraid of other white people (if not, you haven't met my ex wife)? It can not be generalized.

Totally depends on the white people. Am I afraid of totally bald swastika tattooed skinheads? You betcha. But as a general rule white people are not scared of other white people. The Walmart I go to has almost zero black people and in the parking lot nobody's looking around, nobody's concerned about groceries being stolen while they're putting them in their car or the car itself being stolen. Go and watch one of those videos about what you're supposed to do in a Walmart parking lot if you live in a mixed neighborhood. It's mind-boggling, you have to be paying attention 100% of the time or you're going to get screwed eventually.

Allowing states like Wyoming, with its tiny population, to have the same number of senators as NY or Cali is...insane.

My god, did you flunk Civics 101 in high school??? Because this has gotta be the dumbest post you've written (and that's saying a lot). Man doesn't even know that the Senate is NOT supposed to represent the people (the House does). My god man......my god.........................

It is a pretty stupid statement for somebody who claims to be an attorney.

Sorry boys, but you can slap your heads all you want, you're both still ugly as hell.

BTW, if the Senate doesn't meet on behalf of We The People then just who the hell is their constituency?

Yeah, the corporations...in reality....but not in theory.

You just said that you don't understand why a state like Wyoming with such a small population has two senators like every other state and you want us to believe that you went to college and got a degree and went to a law school and got a law degree? I knew you were full of crap but I didn't know you were totally full of crap. Do you tell the truth about anything? Like your age, for instance.

If you studied the Constitution you would know the Senate is supposed to represent the states, not the people. Direct election of Senators was a huge mistake, you can trace the increase in size of government to when it happened. The Senate is supposed to be a check on the House.

Say the House decides there should be free college for all, set up by the states. The Senate is supposed to say, "wait a minute, how on earth are we going to pay for that? Maybe NY has the money but the small states do not."

Sure spike, every word I've ever spoken in my life is but a bald-faced lie.

I didn't go to law school, or college, or even elementary school: I was raised by wolves.

I lie about everything as to me the world is but a whirlpool in a cesspool so who cares, what does anything matter?

There, does THAT complete your fantasy?

Go pet your cats and let me rant.

As for you correctly determining my age...bwa ha ha ha, it ain't happenin'.

Who would elect the senators if not We The People?

Yeah, I'm well aware of checks and balances but looking at the state of politics today I have to wonder "Gee, how well is THAT working now?"

They would be elected by state legislators like before it was changed.

Pretty damned silly: We The People elect the legislators: why have an unnecessary "extra step" in the process?
