My suggestion was for congressional candidates to let people know what they thought about it before the election. On which subject, I had another odd (but substantive, of course) debate with K about how UNKNOWABLE that all was. A few of the candidates who did what I suggested didn't do so well. You can suggest what you want, George. Write your representatives and let them know what you think. If the election politics had played out better, I doubt you'd be making this suggestion, but who knows. Our representatives should vote their conscience a lot more often than they do. But there's partisanship on both sides of the aisle, you know. Cheers, Dan.

My suggestion is for each and every congressperson to vote his/her conscience. George, given the calculating, ambitious and venal characters of most of our politicians and the marketing-oriented, poll-driven nature of our political culture, there is unfortunately little chance that many Congresspersons will take up your suggestion. I reject the accuracy of your analogy. I accept your rejection of the accuracy of my analogy. May I ask why you reject it?
