I have an idea for reforming elections... since geography is a decently arbitrary way of segmenting the populous, why dont we segment the population but demographic. Age, Sex, Religion, sexual preference, height, wieght, dietary habits, favorite sports team... all make more sense for a representative government than geography...
So as a white, male, agnostic, 18-25yr old, who is 5'11, 145-160lbs, who digs chicks, the habs and spicy foods, there should be someone representing me... cause steve herpes, short french, and the horseshoe certainly do not represent or care about my interests or concerns in the slightest...
give me some one who maybe shares a bit of commonality with my existance and Ill be happy to vote for them... Give me 4 people who share a bit of my life and I will gladly pick the one who speaks to me the most...
Or failing that maybe everyone under the age of 40 doesn't have enough invested (both as capital as well as in time) in this nation to have a fully formed opinion... Im sure many people believe that... in which case why the hell should I have to vote

1 Ommission and Retractions:
If you don't vote you can't complain about anything, and as you know I love to complain, voting gives me right to do so... Plus, you want all those greedhead retirement age baby boomers making all the decisions for the country we have to live with, another 4 years and alot more of them are just going to feed off the rest of us. I hate old people!
