It would be more reasonable to respect the entire membership and give everyone an opportunity to attend a national every few years. We do need to respect the minority, even if it means moving the location. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The problem with this is that some people will not be satisfied if national is within a reasonable driving distance. They want the show in their back yard occasionally, even if that makes it impossible for a large number of others to attend. You can try to put that way of thinking out as having compassion for folks who happen to live at the far edges of the country, but I have no idea how you can justify that compassion for a few as you completely disregard so many others. The only thing that makes sense is to rotate locations that are drivable for as many people as possible while including each edge of the country in that "drivable" distance whenever possible.
