I would settle for him simply and logically writing in his own words how he comes to the conclusion that a country of 25 million can run an efficient government, yet a country of 300 million can't simply because of population. Using complete sentences and proper punctuation. It would be good practice for all of the future writing assignments that he has in store in his continuing college education, lol.
I would also like to ask him if he supports a breakup of the US since it can't inherently be as successful as smaller, more homogenized nations. If this is true then he should support secession for his state, or perhaps the Deep South in general, because less population = better government.
