In addition our dogged refusal(probably just an inability) as a nation to move beyond a 2 party system really leaves us with no where to go. It is always us versus them in the political world which I believe prevents reasoned and most likely successful solutions to our problems from having a real chance.

I'm not socialist or anything I just think the mechanics of our government aren't very good. It is a daunting task to fix though. The US could do it though. Probably the only country who could.

Maybe it just needs tweaks but who can look at our government and says it is totally working for us? We have problems every where we turn. Real problems. And Washington has no solutions really. I guess I am a pessimist with our government right now.

No, I totally agree we can't settle for what we've got. Any government plagued by corruption and greed will not work.

In essence, our problem isn't in design, it's in the components of the design. We need to eliminate the corruption that is taking place. We're based on cash money... and that's a problem. Scandals involving refrigerators of money is more commonplace than ever, and someone has to institute legislation to put it to an end. Who you think that will be is up to you, but look at Mr. McCains record on eliminating such cases before you vote.
