Sure, but let's not ignore that a certain 'class' of people make up our representatives - and it's not representative. Despite their pandering. It's ridiculously uniform by comparison to the populace I don't mean to overstate it; reasonable arguments can be made for, against, or as - some of that's implicit. Power/election makes a class. That's not what I'm talking about. I was grandstanding when I got to talking about average. The class is 'crook', or hack/opportunist if we want something more modern. To close, back to my hypothetical: the shock they feel implies that a representative person should be able to adjust. The ones we have couldn't. They'd literally have a coronary - they manage to be several deviations off in terms of age and fitness in addition to moral sensibility. I know every experience is different. Christ. Tree, meet forest. The problem is a lack of representative difference in the counterpart. I harp on that word because it's important.
