Umm...guy, you just rewrote our whole Constitution
and altered our government structure.

You are not just being Liberal, this is an extreme revolutionist tendency
to want all governments to cater to YOUR ideal structure.

Now while I can appreciate you giving your opinion in the "fairness" of things,
you also need to respect other nations government structures.

You seem very keen on forgiving EVERY other nations faults, sins & government,
just to be ONLY against the idea & ideals of the U.S.

This is a blinder mentality that is destructive, biased & vindictive.

We have set up our nation according to the basis of the Founding Fathers,
and have slowly adjusted this base according to significant needs.

Our government is a "Federal Republic", not a pure democracy, not a Parlimentary based one.

The Constitution is set the way it is for a reason,
it has had Amendments when necessary,
and it is VERY difficult to change for a reason.

The Founding Fathers didn't not trust the agendas or whims of ANYONE,
including themselves or the masses.
They set up the government to have checks & balances against other portions.
And it is difficult to change, because they wanted it NOT to be whimsical.

And while not perfect, it is setup so ALL are represented fairly.
Small vs. Large, Masses vs. Elite, Population vs. State,
Executive vs. Judicial vs. Legislative.
Even the electorial process is set up so smaller states are represented
(I don't just want just CA, NY, IL & TX deciding our fate)

We do have issues true, there are some abuses true,
but this has nothing to do with our government structure,
the issues are from money in the voting process, and only 2 parties currently available.
(BTW, this is not a constitutional crisis)

However, we COULD change the Constitution to ADD that there should be no money in govt.
or there "has to" be more parties.
But that is a debate that is going on at this moment.
I think it will solve itself with a few well placed laws and political momentum,
not a Constitutional Amendment.

So, please back off suggesting basically a revolution and whole Constitutional crisis.
The U.S.'s national structure is just fine.

Why don't you put those "forgiving" views that you have for everyone else,
and also apply them to one nation you seem to have something against.

I'd rather you be fair, than extreme.
