[F]   Ha!  The corruption in Washington will go away ONE day after my
New Constitution is ratified!  Those working for government will be
going to prison, or to the gallows, for assenting to, then
disregarding this requirement:  "Fair play and democracy shall have
supremacy in the USA!"  That one sentence will assure the survival of
this country!

Your delusions notwithstanding, you keep talking about some magical,
mythical constitution that has not been seen.

History is clearly not on your side.

The Corruption exists -- as noted -- precisely because the Government
has power (usurped, primarily) over others; to take from some and give
to their favored under the guise of 'common good' and similar nonsense.
