We've also never had a gang banger in city or county government. Lord knows they obviously represent a good portion of the population of Dodge City. Perhaps we should also put a few in office? You know, to look after the special interest of their kind.

Gang bangers are criminals and wouldn't run nor be elected. Although our leaders are elected to represent everyone, not everyone is represented all the time. Say we had all hispanic leaders. Do you think they KNOW and UNDERSTAND how the caucasion demographic feels, what they need, want or what direction they would like to see the city move? I doubt it. We have elected a Democratic congress but when they stand up and call for immediate withdrawls of the troops they are not representing me. I think there should be voices from all people BUT that can't be forced. They have to be elected by the public and if they don't vote then they don't get a voice.
