if they retake statehouses and legislatures they can move to redress some of this. i have to say, gerrymaering is a pretty big thing but a lot of it is also just the accident of geography. african-american voters tend to be highly concentrated in certain districts, boat very democratic which means there is a bunchf districts that have got typically 70%, 80% democratic votes and unfortunately, if you want some sort of real representation in the united states, that leaves a lot of or 60%ts which are 55% republican which means that the republicans have a majority, even aside from gerrymandering. the republicans have a majority even if they lose the popular vote as they did last year. this is -- i think the only way this changes is either that there is a real wave of revolt evulsion that causes them to lose despite the distortion in the system. we are counting on big business to pound some sense into their heads. s stories about how this has a non-disastrous ending is wall street. saying what the hell are you guys doing and if you want any money from us, you had better
