Re: Why Is the US so large?
Actually, I know what it is. ( Thank you for explaining it, though. That was very nice of you. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ) The lengths democrats will go to, to try to make it look as though they did better in the last presidential election than they really did is hilarious. Have a great day!

Re: Why Is the US so large?
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] We've got atheists and theocrats, capitalists and socialists, social fascists and libertarians, all living under the same roof, trying to force everyone to live the way they want to live. I can't possibly imagine how breaking down the dynasty into groups that cater to what the people (read: individuals with different preferences) want is a bad thing [/ QUOTE ] In an earlier day and age, this was usually referred to as "the marketplace of ideas." It was generally considered to be a very good thing. [/ QUOTE ] In a real marketplace, the fact that more people prefer Coke than Pepsi doesn't mean everyone is stuck with Coke for some number of years.

Have a great day!"

No matter who won, about one quarter of the eligible voters got the candidate they voted for, about one quarter got the candidate they didn't vote for, and about one half are stuck with some guy when they didn't go out to vote at all.
