NAFTA: WE'RE HERE TO SHAFT YA Departmental Report Re: I apologize to any who were/are offended. Tactically speaking (though never about tact, in fact), I find it better to ask for forgiveness than to seek permission..... Therefore, I apologize to the "free traders" on the thread who might be offended by the audacity of Jim Hightower webactive.com to comment on "A Game of Global Gotcha". A gem of a rant, IMO. -R.

Best thing since the Tampa Tribune and St Pete thing, much more serious and more powerful than any ridiculous president. Ilmarinen Hmm, I think the Tampa area has the least proportionality, or percentage of actual representation, in USA, and thus in most of the world, something like 17% compared to the normal PR average of 60-75%. That is, how many of the eligable voters have somebody representing them, by voting preference, in congress. But one factor might be that this statistics has not been calculated for many districts, maybe especially for those with only some 7% voter participation and only one candidate??
