By the way Dave, I believe that the poplution of Washington DC, and
the entire population of the state New Hampshire, are pretty close to
each other.

Would you advocate the evacuation of your entire state if an unfair
law was imposed on it by Congress?  How well do you think that would
go?  What would the logistics for such a move be?  Would Massachusetts
and Vermont be able to easily absorb the population?  Who would pay
for the internal upkeep of New Hampshire?  Would you feel just a
little bit pissed about having to do so, or would you just see it as a
simple solution?  Don't you think your Federal Tax payments should
protect you against such a thing, or do you think you should have to
move in order to obtain those rights, even though you pay for them?
What about people who own homes, if they move - who will buy their
homes, won't the buyers then lose representation?  If they can't sell
their homes, how will the get the money to "simply" (your words) move.
If you think DC is bad now, it certainly wouldn't get any better if it
lost it's entire resident tax base - because those residents sought
representation.

You have stated that the solution is "simple", just move.

I submit that your solution is not as simple as you have publically
declared.  I think that it is minimalist,  poorly though out,
rhetoric.

Or course, like always, I could be wrong.
