Comment This is why the senate was created (Score 1) 642

When the U.S. constitution was written, states with small population complained they would be underrepresented. So the Senate was created. I can't tell, is Daniel talking about gerrymandering? If he is, states such as Iowa have created nonpartisan committees to redistrict the state as the population shifts. I think what Daniel wants is a Senate-like legislative body that gives each district in a state equal representation. Unfortunately he thinks gerrymandering is a problem at the national level, which was solved with the signing of the Constitution.

Submission + - Coyne-Haught religious debate video released (uky.edu) 1

tkel writes: On October 12, 2011 Theologian John Haught publicly debated prominent evolutionary scientist and atheist Jerry Coyne at the University of Kentucky. Although both agreed to a videotaping of the event, Haught later prohibited it's release because he felt he had been treated unfairly. Coyne released blog posts addressing the matter as an offense to free speech. Reviewing their new status in the blogosphere, Haught and his associates at the University of Kentucky have decided to release the video.
