The court case that could reshape US democracy (Dec 12 2003 06:09 GMT) - "It bears the utterly uninformative title of Veith et al vs Jubelirer (docket number 02-1580). But the case, which the US Supreme Court heard yesterday, deals with the explosive political issue of gerrymandering - and its ruling next year could literally reshape America's democracy." Gerrymandering is so widespread and has become so effective that only four incumbent congresspeople were defeated in the last round of elections, and the number of districts in which the House race is a foregone conclusion is astounding. ' "Voters no longer choose members of the House, the people who draw the lines do," says Samuel Issacharoff, professor at Columbia Law School.' The precision with which databases full of demographic data can predict voting patterns by neighborhood, street or household is largely to blame. |

December 12 - Take it from a REAL reviewer (Dec 12 2003 06:07 GMT) - I also make sure to infuse every lengthy adjective in the English language into my sentences, making them tedious to read and difficult to understand. I'm just like a real movie reviewer, except I'm not! Every mention of an character's name requires at least three out-of-place adjectives to describe the person . . . |

There's the theory that FDR was warned of the attack on Pearl Harbor, but allowed it to happen in order to enrage America and bring us fully into World War II. There's the theory that LBJ had JFK knocked off on the orders of Texas oilmen. There's the Raelians' theory that ancient space travelers planted people on Earth; |
