Which theory of representation is practiced by most members of Congress?
Q. Which of the theories of representation (substantive, representational, attitudinal, or organizational) do you believe is practiced by most members of Congress during the campaign season? Would you expect the longer term of Senators compared to Representatives to result in their practicing a different theory of representation?

A. Sounds like you read that in a text book. He goes my take on Congress. The leader type, who takes new and varied positions and leads their constituencies with policy and thinking. People tend to follow their lead. ( Ronald Reagan and Joe Lieberman types) The polling type, who is constantly checking what the voters want and changing to do as the voters want; basically they are saying "there go my people, I must follow them, I am their leader." ( That was Bill Clinton and Senator John Kerry.)

Why are Christians absolutely certain of the truth despite 25 major religions practiced around the globe?
Q. How can there be 25 other major religions practiced around the world when Christians believe that their doctrine is the absolute truth as with the other religions. There is a fundamentally illogical premise to the existence of God. How can one be so right and the others so wrong. This is self evident even without scientific evidence to contradict the existence of a supreme being. If God exists, why doesn't he show himself like every 100 years instead of once.

Can someone who plays the xylophone be good at the piano if they practiced?
Q. I play the xylophone, and every piece I have learned I can play on my brother's piano. Is it possible for me to play the piano? I know all the notes and I taught myself how to play my xylophone pieces on it. I do not have any private lessons since my xylophone is for my school band classes. Actually I meant is it possible for me to play piano sheet music? Or just any song like Love Song, by Sara Bareilles?

A. Of course! Piano and Xylophone are in the same family of instruments. They're pretty much the same thing. As you probably already know, the black keys are the same as the raised bars on the xylophone, and the white keys on the piano, are the bars closest to you on the xylophone. I'm sure piano is more challenging, as you have 5 fingers to play notes, rather than one or 2 mallets. I've never seen someone use 5 mallets on each hand for a xylophone! So, good luck at piano, it shouldn't be too hard to pick up.
