Re: Knock, Knock. American here.
>The US is no longer a largely agrarian country, but the notion that the 70% (your figure) who are city dwellers should should have largely unrestricted power over the remaining 30% is utter rubbish, and one of the reasons the designers of the government chose not to establish a democracy.
That is utter twaddle. The Founders didn't (couldn't) have a clue that, one day, most Americans would live in cities, that non-property-holding men, women and black men would be able to vote.
Why the hell should country-dwellers' votes count more than urban-dwellers?
