You really don't have a frippin' clue, do you?

I know they would not even think about empowering the people. Your
point? Does not mean I don't want to see true democracy. I trust the
people, not the greedy government. Problem with the people is they beave
like herd animals and are managed that way.

Yep, you are a well managed herd animal.


For starters, it is obvious you have never need a piece of proposed
legislation in all its glory. Real life is not as simple as you'd like
to think it is.

Been there done that. Bottom line is ass kissing people who don't give
a damn about anything else. Minds too small to see beyond their noses
promoted or elected beyond their level of competence. Appeal to their
need of personal greed and you can sell anything. Very few in politics
operate outside of the envelope of pure unadulterated personal greed.

While I have never been to congress, I can envision it as a bunch of
idiots, too much lobster and booze...all worried about perception and
not the greater good.

That is why you can't get anything decent done. And that is why USA is
destined to fail economically. A revolution as people are taxed too
much, realize the real failure of government and perhaps something
better will come from the ashes. But decay is part of a counties life
cycle, just like getting old. Companies and countries are no different.
They get born, prosper, get old then wither.

It takes on hell of a leadership to avoid the cycle. And I just don't
see this leadership in DC.
