We are locked into old ways.

I'm happy and grateful to be away from the American political scene. At least for a while. There's nothing more depressing than watching the political scene play out in the USA. It's gawd-awful. It's hell. I am so disenchanted with the way the political game is played. Almost everywhere. But especially in America. In Congress. If I had my way, I'd change the whole system. And move to a parliamentary type government. One that encourages multiple parties. And forced coalitions of several minority parties to run government efficiently. Our two-party system doesn't work. Because there's not enough give and take. We Americans are trying to live on archaic principles of the 18th century. We too much revere the past. And that keeps us from moving full force into modern times. Into the 21st century. We ought to be thinking more of the 22nd century. And preparing for it. We need a new politic. New principles. To accommodate our changing world. We Americans are locked into old ways. --Jim Broede
