OK, to summarize: you may or may not be in favor of reducing district sizes (and increasing the number of Representatives) based on your other questions which I have failed to answer.

that's where we stand, so far as i can tell.
i really think that the central questions are procedural---i don't see any advantage to making the house so big that debate is impossible and relegating legislation to committees to the exclusion of debate does not seem a good idea.
to my mind, there are several problems left dangling here.
one of them is transparency.
in a complex legislative process, transparency seems to me fundamental--a guarantee of legitimacy no less.
i assume that for you, increased availability of representatives to, say, talk with you on the phone IS transparency-is that correct?
btw: what is the opposite of an anarchist?
