    [synopsis] => It's obvious to many by now that our antiquated method of doing the business of government is no longer working. The two party system is a great way for politicians to establish a long, very long-lasting and very profitable position for themselves. They learn how to posture and pose and make tidy little speeches full of promises and age-old wisdom, but gets nothing accomplished. Is it any wonder when we know that the system was designed by people who only knew horse-and-buggy technology.

When our system of government was created there was no electricity anywhere on the planet. There were no telephones and of course the INTERNET would astound them and confound them and call it the work of Satan. The best of our species at the kind, who were also slave-owners, put forward a kind of government that allowed for slavery to remain in business. Even though their basic document has been altered 27 times, it is still fundamentally flawed and relies on only horse-and-buggy thinking to solve our problems. Most laws take decades to formulate and achieve a consensus and then come to a final vote in Congress, but not until it has been watered down and changed so many times, the new laws are outdated at the minute of their adoption and usually cause new problems that will also take decades to solve.

As we write these words, we are on the brink of total economic collapse. Violence of all kinds rules over our streets. Six college students are murdered. Hundreds of other innocent Americans are slain every day on the streets of this country. Inflation is rampant. People are going homeless by the thousands every day. Another pandemic is raging. The forest fires in 15 states are raging out of control for months. There is a drought everywhere, except in the East where there are record floods. People are fearful. AND, 6 out of 10 people know that the Climate Crisis will greatly impact their lives. Do we have any Government at the present?
