Agreed. The 18th was the worst.

Just because someone doesn't like the results of how his fellow citizens vote for a senatorial candidate, doesn't mean that the idea of people choosing who represents them in Congress is a bad idea.

Right now, only 1/3 of our federal government is directly chosen by the people. Before the 17th, it was 1/6 (one of two houses in one of three branches of our government). 1/6 is too small.
