    This makes me sad. I know that seeing Sinterklaas helps make spirits lighter, but if you don't work there and don't live there, don't go into nursing homes. We need to protect our people even if that means we can't some of our traditions this year.

    i think that it is very cool that women are finally driving moscows trains

    I think that the "hard-working conditions" was just an excuse to not let women work, but I am glad that they are now able to drive trains in Moscow.

I think that burning the American Flag is extremely disrespectful to the people that fought for the country. People shouldn't let one bad thing create such chaos like burning the American flag.

    you would think after actually having corona he would open his eyes a little more but, he needs to understand why these virtual debates are happening and as our current president he would do that for his people and put a good example.

    I agree with the comment above mine, you definitely would think that after having the virus he would take a step towards more virtual meetings instead of being everywhere all the time without a mask.

    "But how did our national legislature get to the point where only 10% of Americans approve of its actions?" "The answer: Congress no longer represents the will of the people, and it hasn't for a very long time."

    With the way this is set up, i think its a well though out article. at first, i thought more people, more power, but its really to let the little guy have a voice, which i think is the biggest problem with the government today. A lack of connection.. Anybody agree with that?
  • Drew Koesters on 21 Aug 12
     
    George Washington warned us in his farewell address to avoid political parties. Now look at where they have gotten us. A House and Senate gridlocked in a partisan conflict in which none of the average people they are supposed to represent are even acknowledged.
  • Mallory Huggins on 21 Aug 12
     
    I agree with the general idea of this. I think a Congress of 3,000 people is extreme, but I definitely agree that Congress should be expanded. We have a populations of over 300 million and only 435 people in the House, and that proportion is pretty ridiculous. There is definitely a lack of connection between representatives, because it is impossible to connect with nearly a million people.
  • Alex beck on 21 Aug 12
     
    The problem with this is that at this point it may be too late to get a smooth, efficient transition to any other form than the one we have, and the few ways there are to acheive this goal either involve massive chaos, which most find undesireable, or change so slow that we will never be satisfied with the transition's results, whether they achieve our preferred outcomes. Also, the shift could cause exploitation of congress that would be even worse for the people than our current predicament. So really, we are almost as well off just starting from the roots and reconstructing in the new way, despite the many downsides.... At least as far as I can tell. I can't say I have given the topic much thought.
  • Ashtyne Madsen on 21 Aug 12
     
    I agree with the article and these comments because the House is supposed to represent "normal" Americans and and they wouldn't be able to do that with so few representatives.
  • Jeremy Vogel on 21 Aug 12
     
    Alex I have to disagree that the few ways to do this would cause chaos or move slowly. With the current setup we redraw districts and move them from one state to another based on population data received from the census every ten years. So lets say that today we decide to double the number of representatives to 870 starting in 2020 (the next census year). That would mean we would have 8 years to figure out the math, which can't be all that difficult in my opinion if they are able to do it every ten years when they redistrict, to find out how many congressional districts each state gets. Then when the new state district maps are drawn in 2020 after the census instead of drawing 435 districts we would draw 870. This way could work because we already move districts from state to state with population changes so states have experienced additional congressional districts being added to their district maps. I hope this made sense, it did in my head.
  • Alex beck on 22 Aug 12
     
    It did in fact make good sense. I concede that the physical transition, so to speak, would be fairly simple, however I am more concerned that the math would not be that simple to adjust and still aquire the desired results. I can't say that I have a lot of reasonably credible sources, but as a citizen, my concerns would be that the transition would just cause the same issues, but with twice the ammount of people being paid to do the job. As far as I could tell, there is no way to be certain that the adjustment would work as desired, so my question is: do you have a method that would ensure that we would not just be paying twice the price for the same job with the comfort of more poeple doing it? I don't think I saw anything regarding that, so I hope that is a reasonable question.

    I think it's honestly disappointing that Donald Trump is going against our first amendment right to burn the flag because I just think it's a piece of fabric and there are tons and tons of flags sold almost everywhere in the U.S.

    Yes, he is the president, but the first amendment was made the first amendment in 1791 and is still the first amendment today. In today's day in age, change is all around us but, we choose no to change certain things because why fix what's not broken. if the first amendment hasn't changed since then, then there is no reason to fix it.

    I think it is completely disrespectful to the people that fought for this country and families who are handed that flag when their kid has died in battle and you people think it's okay just to burn it and think of it as just a piece of fabric. It is a resemblance of what people fought in for..this country, freedom.
  • bayliegirres on 14 Sep 20
     
    I think burning the flag is so disrespectful. So many people fought for our country and the flag is a way of honoring them. I agree with Trump, it is a disgrace that people think it is okay to burn the flag.
  • briannanixon on 15 Sep 20
     
    I think burning the flag is disrespectful. Not just because it is the flag of our country but because so many people have fought and sadly dead for this country and we should respect that. There should be a consequence for burning the flag.
  • mmailey052 on 21 Sep 20
     
    I think burning the flag is very disrespectful. We have so many people who fight for our country under the flag. I think that burning it is disrespecting the dead soldiers and our own country. I think a punishment should be put in place for anyone who purposely burns a flag.
  • emilysmith200 on 23 Sep 20
     
    I agree with Marissa; burning the flag is very disrespectful, and if this happens I will be very disappointed.
  • jcooley186 on 28 Sep 20
     
    Burning the flag is definitely not a good thing, as many people above have talked about, it is disrespectful. But I think making laws like "Loss of citizenship" or "Jailtime" is a bit much compared to many other crimes going around unpunished now.
  • aurora216 on 28 Sep 20
     
    I agree no one should burn down the US flag because it's not right.
  • kennalee04 on 28 Sep 20
     
    loss of citizenship is extreme but I understand the concept, like if you hate this country enough to disrespect our most meaningful symbol and the many people that fought for the right to fly the flag why not just leave? they should definitely be punished in some way.
  • olijohnson on 28 Sep 20
     
    Historically I can understand why people don't like flag burning, but it should in no way be criminalized. It may symbolize something but when you break it down its just a piece of cloth you can buy for a dollar.
