assessing the problems with our government and FIXING the problems.
Like I've told you, the Constitution was too "trusting" that quality
people would get elected to office. The Founding Fathers had no way
of realizing the negative effects of having the elitist media treat
elected officials like ROYALTY. The ego maniacal, career politicians
we now have in Washington (mostly lawyers) desired supposed public
service to make them feel more important. The effect of that is to
have only ego maniacs willing to vie for public service. But I want
salt-of-the-Earth types to represent us! So, I take the media out of
the equation and limit our representatives to those who have NEVER
held public office before.
Please realize that I don't have the time nor the motivation to keep
justifying my spending fourteen years writing my New Constitution,
only to have a "shallow" like you claim that no changes are needed.
My guess is that you are hoping in your heart that I don't get to FIX
the problems, because you like the unfair inequities in this country
just as they are. If you can't change your thinking relative to my
efforts, this will be the last time I ever reply to you. — John A.
