While I can agree with that point in principal, I just tend to disagree with the idea of giving differently-populated states equal authority. The current setup of the Senate was only a compromise, originally...without it, there couldn't have been agreement on the Constitution. Ultimately, I suppose I feel that the US is supposed to be a representative republic. As such, it should truly be fairly representative. States might "suffer" from the overreaching federal government, but the government, and their workers, do not serve the states; they serve the people.

(And I just noticed yoru icon. Funny!)
