Taxpayer,
The vote situation is no different than Al Gore getting more votes than King George--George wins, things do not always happen the way they should. The tyranny of the majority is always on my mind. You have to make it fair somehow and this is how it works.
By the way, China and India only have 1.3 and 1.2 billion people each, not 2 billion each.

"The laws that govern the Postal Service are outdated and unsuited for today's competitive environment," said House Government Reform Committee Chairman Tom Davis, R-Va.
The entire idea of states and the senate are out of date but I don't see Tom taking that on. Also, the concept of countries is obsolete. Why should a country of 11 million have the same voting power in international situations as a country of 300 million? Does Tom plan to take that on? For example, in the WTO a country such as France (less than 75 million people)can get the same leverage against the USA 300 million people as against China (2billion people). Additionally, the USA of 300 million gets equal (or greater) footing agains China and India (each about 2 billion). Isn't there something wrong here?
Wait until China has the economic power over the USA and see if the USA can maintain its voice in the world concerning trade or anything else. What goes around comes around.
