X-Message-Number: 22879 Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 21:47:57 -0500 From: RANDY WICKER <> Subject: Re 22854 Dennis Kucinish --Boundary_(ID_S0jc2WbtOTHe6COm22GgzA) Content-type: text/plain; charset=Windows-1252 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Dennis Kucinich is championed by David Pizer when he says: "Well, actually, the main thing is to get Dennis in as President. You see, he advocates proportional representation, which would allow for a voice in Congress for all sorts "fringe" disenfranchised blocks of citizens, such as, for example, life extensionists and genetic engineering advocates. With proportional representation, we cryonicists and immortalists could ally with other likeminded citizens to put into congress people who would STOP the passage of laws unfriendly to our interests" If we had proportional representation I am afraid the tiny number of people championing our causes would be more than counter-balanced by Ten-Commandments-In-Our-Courthouse fanatics, no-genetically- engineered-food nuts, etc. You would have a parliamentary system in which an unbalanced personality like Adolph Hitler could snatch power. We may not like our Tweedle-Dee or Tweedle-Dum choices but in the end freedom of belief and practice is safest under governance from the middle. Randolfe H.
