For a quick lesson, note that 85% of the counties in the United States voted Republican. Guess where the big Democrat hotspots were?
One big problem with this. The US population is not distributed evenly by county. If it was, your statement would be correct. However, most of the population lives on the East and West coasts. Nearly one tenth of the US population lives in California alone.
So, yes, if the majority of the population votes for one candidate over another, and that population is concentrated in a few areas, rather than distributed over many, they should have more say.
Which also goes to show how imperfect big government is. It would make a lot more sense for the states to control all their own affairs, and have the Federal side of things control foreign affairs, national defence, and the like. The states then collectively run the Federal government, and contribute to it's upkeep. Otherwise they are separate entities.
That way each state can keep it's own population reasonably satisified. Where as currently the Federal government is going to always piss off half the country.
I'd agree with those, especially Trials and Tribblations. They integrated the humour of the original episode very well. I particulary liked Worfs response "We don't like to talk about it" when asked about why the TOS Klingons looked different to the TNG/DS9 Klingons.
The other episode I liked using time travel was the time loop episode where Enterprise was destroyed at the end of each loop, restarting from the beginning. I thought that was very well done.

Do you need a fully automatic, or even a semi-automatic weapon to enjoy target shooting?

Bart! Stop chewing on the dry wall!
