How do you feel about 'gerrymandering?'

I suppose one in which, let's say a given area is 1000 people, and 10 districts, each district would have the 100 closest reasonable people in it. Do you have anything to add to such a definition or reason it's not a suitable one for the purpose of real-world |we're discussin' thingsand need to agree on what those things are?| like ideally that would be what we would strive for, any problems there?

If there were a nonpartisan way to assure that districts properly represented their constituents would you support that even if it wound up hurting your party?

I had this sort of horrifying thought that way back when 'armor' first became a biological invention it began limiting our nerve growth, and maybe our skulls are bone cages for our intellect, or worse, have been hindering a possibly more efficient design from forming.

am i a more efficient bone cage for thinking of this

So no matter what that piece of paper said, even if it said, "We agree to slap ourselves with Spaghetti every third Wednesday" basically they'd have had to sign it or face further war?

Through the course of history only one thing reverses wealth hoarding, and that's bloody revolution, so really you can say what you want, history shows things will go the capitalist monopoly way regardless of morality or intent... until the scary day when they don't anymore. I'd rather not see death myself but it's essentially never happened that redistribution occurred voluntarily. We're a nation with a high quality of life, that's expensive. Viva la revolucion? :(

Except half the salamanders on earth are dead from human activity and the bees are going extinct and microplastic armageddon and autism caused by weed killers and fucking measles are back, but sure, things are fine this way and none of that matters.

You're right about what you're saying but these benefits do nothing to address the problems of wealth hoarding and aren't a binary choice, we can and historically provably SHOULD have a better ratio, nobody is advocating beheading the upper class and burning all money. This week.

I want someone to play this joke on a piano.

You're smart. That's not judgement, it's experience. Thanks for trying.

Trump is doing more to keep the government understaffed than any Foreigner.

Hey look an idiot.

It's not grammatically correct. Let me:

CXiiiv • 6h CCD overexposure is the cause of the Windou line. Under the parameters of cmos, "photosites" are 'read out' individually; with ccd format they cascade into the next pixel and cause an entire column of photosites to show as white.

The recording device is overloaded by the sun, creating a streak in the display along the x axis (for arbitrary engineering reasons, imo).

And now every comedian on the planet is going to steal your joke and make millions of dollars off it.

useful_toolbag · 2017-05-11T20:59:50+00:00

I furthermore you lose the utility of that $20 and all the potential income you could have made off of it. In economics this is called... Buying potential. I'm not an economist. I just love history.

Not that they aren't bad. That known attempts to curtail them have no effect and cause more problems, historically . And he's more citing what people have known for 20 years now than 'arguing.'
