Democracy Is A Lie. There's One Representative For Every 782,000 People. You Feel Well Represented? In 1912, The Last Year Number of House Members Was Increased, There Was One Rep For Every 212,000 People. Locked At 435 Ever Since. (media.conspiracies.win)

I don't necessarily disagree. I wish it wasn't necessary. But of the 535 some odd representatives we have, it'd seem like maybe 10 are reasonable at any one time. I just want the raw number of reasonable voices to increase, that's all. if it can be done with less statist parasites, that'd be better.

RATHER, here's a idea some old liberal suggested to me once, do a draft for public representation. instead of army service, every citizen should have to serve as a public servant for 2 years before theyre 40 or something... and give'm all a 40k salary and once u served ur time, u can only work as a public official for a total of 10 years or soemthing, so stooges don't clog up the system. again, i dont want to create a giant parasite class of govt "workers", and I have no idea how to encourage this to come about, cus obviously the current system wont let it happen, but that's what oughta happen. then you'd have a lot of people who don't want to be there, but since they're there, they'll make the most of it or call our the corruption impedeing their progress. i dunno, just an idea.

It's an old idea, and not necessarily a liberal one...William F. Buckley said he'd rather be governed by the first 100 names in the phone book way back in the 1960s.
