Am I over-simplifying?
I have no doubt that the US system has been thoroughly manipulated by many self-serving groups over time. That I think most of us can agree on.
The system at its inception and in principle is a thing of beauty. The 'people' have always been the weak link. Wether that be a body of voters, citizens in general or those drawn from 'the people' who have been elected to serve and to represent the people. All have failed to preserve the balance of the system.
So the question is, why such reverence for a system that does not maintain itself as it should?
The market has spoken. The US political experiment has failed.
Stop tinkering with it by playing semantic games, either fix it properly or change it completley. |
I think that's a topic for another thread, one to which many of the posters in this thread are participating, the one on revolution.
And, I don't think that many of us who have posted to this thread are of the "if you can't beat them, join them" mindset. We are working and arguing for changing the situation, returning it to its principles.
