[B]  MJ, I sense that you are "Monday-morning-quarterbacking" the
complex organization of our country.  You have no concept of the
thousands and thousands of hours of thought and continual revision
that I've put into writing my New Constitution.  Whether you think
there might be something better, is probably just an ego ploy of
yours.  Most people "know" that they could make more logical decisions
than our "elected dictators", like Barack Obama.  But few people have
a large enough ego to love standing in front to groups making speeches
every day.  That's why I've stipulated that the media not be allowed
contact with Congress in Washington.  And I've declared that no
congressman ever make gratuitous public speeches.  The reason?  I want
to be sure there is no EGO COMPONENT in those willing to run for
public office.  Once possible office seekers realize they won't
constantly be in the public eye, we will start getting more salt-of-
the-earth types who have the knowledge and the character to make sure
our government is fair and optimal for the vast majority of Americans.

Do you always create vast (strawman) arguments for other people?
Whether you spent 5 minutes or 5000 years has no relevance whatsoever
as to the quality (or lack thereof) of your thus far unseen effort.
Your projection does little to aid your cause either.

None of your so-called response has *anything* to do with whether
the Articles of Confederation are indeed superior or inferior to the
US Constitution.

The power of the statists to exercise unrestrained force against people goes to the essence of all political systems.  Being defined  even by political "scientists"  as an entity that exercises a monopoly on the use of violence within a given geographic area, the state must continue to exercise such unquestioned powers, particularly at times when its credibility and respect are in rapid decline.  The people employed to carry out such powers  be they police officers, TSA employees, militarists, bureaucrats of various stripes, etc.  are the kinds of sociopaths who are eager to exercise such unrestricted violence against others.  The state is the playground bully writ large, and state officials are unwilling to hold their bullies accountable for their wrongs because, to do so, would be to deny the very monopoly status that defines their system. -- Butler Shaffer
