If this is the best, gawd help us.

I'm thinking more and more that the problem with our two-party system in the U.S is that they stifle each other. Neither party really gets anything done. Because they refuse to work together. And they even have rules, particularly in the Senate, that allow the minority to block virtually anything. By filibustering. Just talking legislation to death. Nobody can convince me that we Americans have the best form of government in the world. If this is the best, gawd help us. --Jim Broede

I'd like to see us update the U.S. Constitution so it better fits modern times. But it won't happen. Our politicians would rather that we live by archaic 18th century standards. --Jim

Maybe it would have been nice if we had lost the Revolutionary War. We'd probably have a parliamentary form of government. And that's better than what we've got. --Jim
