Both of California's senators sponsored PIPA. Tech is a weak force compared to Hollywood, mostly because it is apathetic.

- dllthomas 13y agoCA should be two states, at least...
- reeses 13y agoThe thing with west coast states (and others, but shut up!) is that, as they were "settled" later than other states, they tend to have very dense urban areas and very sparsely populated rural areas. This is OK in the House, where people have reasonably proportional representation (although districting is notoriously prone to corruption), but the senate seats and electoral votes tend to belong to the urban areas. I'd be more than happy to cede everything east of about 121ºW to Nevada. It wouldn't necessarily resolve the problem, but it just feels right.
