5. You may be wrong?

Nah...

What should have happened, and did not, was that as the population grew our representation should have grown. As it is, for the last 80 years, the same number of reps has been seated, allowing special interests to seize control.

And being there is no profit in a clean environment, the profit taking special interests have made sure profits before people ruled in DC.

Sorry, kids.
