What amazes me is that nobody calls these politicians on the carpet for this kind of gerrymandering. It's fucking criminal.

I agree wholeheartedly.

They get reformed every so often, the politicians un-reform them.

Same thing with judges hereabouts.

I feel compelled to say this since it is off topic. At every turn, the dialog always come to -5, always about -5, only about -5. That's it. Ignore just does not seem to work.

Even this thread, which is a very serious topic with long term implications on politics and government in the US, what is the conversation about? -5. And this cannot be helped it seems. It will soon become a "why bother" forum if this continues and that would be a shame because there is a lot of great knowledge and passion on this forum including the AK pedigree that most of us share.

Seems to me the management has the authority and capacity to keep that from happening.

How about you take it there?

Yes and no. Yes is covered, "quote" cannot be ignored and that is my no.

If you see who it is from you can move your eyes right past it.
