Any problems we have, are not worth changing the Constitution.
Personally, I think that is something that shouldn't be taken lightly.
I'd also point out that the converse is also true. Why should a sparsely
populated state's Senators have the same power as a large state? I'd
also point out, the smaller states tend to have longer entrenched
politicos, thereby increasing their power.

That's true of all Federal and State legislative bodies Democrat,
Republican or any other party worth note.

What I'm thinking is that smaller would be more ammeable to change so
you don't get people like Barney Frank sitting in power for as long as
he has.

Maybe term limits is more appropriate - I can't say, but I'm tired of
the same old people telling me the same old things in the same old way
with the same old results.

It's getting boring. :)

And more to the point, why in the hell would I want to give more
conservative states more power? ;-)

Because we rule and you drool? :)

Look, I'm a conservative soul, but a pragmatic one - I understand that
compromise, while not always personally palatable, is necessary to
move the country forward. And, this may shock you, it actually helps
progressive causes because it dampens the enthusiasm of over reaching
social engineering and experimentation.
