It's the way the system works. I understand you don't like it. But if you really want to make it so that the people elected from your district don't represent you, move or renounce your citizenship. Much as I hated to admit it, Slick Willy represented me to the world for 8 years. Now, it's Bush. I happen to prefer the current state of affairs but I understand the emotions of those who disagree. > Same goes for the current Shrub Regime<tm>.

You may disagree with the policies, but the guy deciding on them, by definition, represents you and everyone else. We have elections to determine who will represent since only one person can represent us in each position. You don't have to like the results of the arrangement, but that doesn't give you license to change the definitions of words. > Don't know where you come up with such ideas as this anyway. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=representative Lowell C.
