In reapportionment, once the population is counted every ten years, it is decided on how many Congressional seats a district is entitled to. When a state is redistricted, it is because of a state has exceeded or lost the number of residents formerly known to have resided in each district by a factor that entitles them to more or less congressional seats in the House of Representatives. Congressional district lines are redrawn to reflect the shift in population numbers when new seats are earned, or lost. When I was first old enough to vote, Nevada had only 1 congressional seat, and two senators. Because of the rapid increase in population in Clark County over the last 20 years, Nevada has earned two more congressional seats, both of which encompass Clark County, where Las Vegas is the largest city. Several nearby cities have added to the phenomenal growth: Henderson and North Las Vegas being the two fastest growing areas in Clark County. When a whole state earns more Congressional seats, some other area in the United States loses Congressional seats, because the number of total seats in limited by law to 435.

Sometimes, when the local politicians in control want more than their fair share, they attempt to "Gerrymander" newly redrawn districts to reflect their own political party, in the belief that they can consolitate their party's hold on their state's government. The word "Gerrymander" comes from the name of a Massachusetts politician, Eldridge Gerry, who insisted on redrawning his district in an attempt to consolidate his own power. The district lines he wanted left a figure on the map that looked to the citizens like a long, slinky lizard, or salamander, thus the term "Gerry-mander".

Reapportionment And Redistricting

reapportionment = how many seats a state has in the House. This is determined every 10 years after the census. Since the total is 435 and has not changed since the 1920's, the seats shift around with some states losing and some states gaining based on population.

Redistricting = the process of dividing up a state into single member districts equal to the number of seats it was apportioned by the reapportionment process.

Quite a lot. Punk as a philosophy centers around rejection. Rejection of capitalism, socialism, politics, economics, aesthetics, logic and rhetoric. In its nature it brings this philosophy to the attention of others by being invasive, brash, vulgar and overstated. In short it attempted to "shock" people into acknowledging their values, or rather their lack of values. For example the use of the swastika was used to shock the generation who had fought against naziism, informing them that their struggles and sacrifices had ultimately been fruitless as society was still flawed at its core. Initially punk was associated with anarchism (NOT anarchy), and was quite left wing. It interpreted the legal system as part of the state apparatus by which the working classes were subjugated and oppressed. During the 80's however, it became associated with the far right, neo-Nazis, especially the anti-immigration platform in the UK and the skinhead movement in the US, where "Oy!" punk became almost synomymous with racism. This was in spite of the fact that most major punk bands, The Clash and The Jam for example, were very left-wing and sympathetic to the labour movement. They did mostly have to make little of their usually middle-class roots. Musically punk was both shocking and a rejection of the Shelleyan ideal of the artist as a genius, which had become common during the 70's as most bands contained at least one virtuoso and prog became popular. Expression was about emotion rather than skill and clarity and energetic play rather than actual musical talent became admired. Punk also largely ignored the mainstream record labels and released records independently or on small labels. Emo on the other hand is possibly an example of the first fashion trend to have been designed by corporate media. Major record labels profited from punk, but not as much as they felt they could have, and grunge caught them completely off guard (except Geffen), so they decided to create a new genre they could control from the off. It embraces much of punk and grunge anti-corporate sentiment, but has a largely peacful image, so that parents won't object. Musically it's not really a genre. Emo bands are bands that "look" emo rather than "sound" emo, though lyrical themes are common. It is aimed squarely at middle class teenagers, the easiest base to target, but the one that no record company can afford to misjudge (as they did during grunge). In terms of philosophy, Emo is utopian and oomphalic (yes that is a word, derived from the Greek world for "navel"). It seeks to create a community of like minded people who understand each other, as opposed to school, family and authority figure from whom Emo's feel disengaged. These communities are entirely accepting of kindred spirits and dismissive of, though not aggressive towards other groups. In short it's a perfectly acceptabel form of rebellion that parents will accept, even endorse, but which will make corporations millions, and also create an audience for acts that may not find one naturally (because they tend not to be very good). In terms of fashion, it combines the more benign aspects of goth, punk and skater. It short, it's a fabricated movement. Hope that explains a few things.
