Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

You're confusing people who think the U.S. is perfect with people who are willing to claim it aloud. 

Can you offer an example of such a person?

Aside from whatever is in your own head?

Anybody want to tackle this whole San Francisco slavery reparations deal?  Because I’m throughly confused. 

Because-They passed some sort of resolution to pay $5 million per person. But is this just for blacks living in the city?  And most importantly, I’m fairly certain SF and California did not allow slavery. Im not even sure when they became a state, but I don’t recall them having any involvement in the civil war or any of the major movements of the day. 

The whole thing is just so weird, even by California standards.

Buying votes.

Republicans would have more say without it.

FIFY

I'm assuming he's not even wanting there to BE senators maybe?

Not sure how you got that out of wanting to repeal the 17th Amendment, which I believe to be the best thing that we could do in this country. 

I'm going to stay uninvolved, but it will not diminish my bitching at all.

(My wife got on a committee here to design an upgrade for our community deck space.  They put in quite a bit of work, and the HOA Board ignored it all, entirely, and did their own thing.  I had warned my wife of that possibility.  She wasn't overly upset because she had stopped going to their meetings nearer the end.  One guy, a "designer", claimed he spent over $500 on his designs that were ignored.)

One of our best senators was appointed by the governor (Sam Nunn).

I can't name a politician today I really respect.

SF hasn't passed anything, they have a committee making some recommendations (California has the same on a state level).  I think if we here appointed a committee to hand out say $1 MILLION dollars to every poster here, said committee would forward that recommendation.  I suspect the PTBs would say "Thanks, we'll consider it ..." (or not), and that would be that.

No, I get that part that it's not binding.  But why in the world would SF even feel obliged to pay reparations

for something they had no part of?
