I'm not a political pundit and I'm certainly no
constitutional scholar, but here's what I think
is the biggest flaw of our founding fathers- and their lack of foresight into
what this country would become. They said (paraphrasing) that our government
should be made up of representatives of the citizens (no taxation without
representation and all). But, here's the thing. As a whole we're a society of
selfish, greedy idiots. We don't need representatives of the common person. We need
people better than the average. People who aren't running for political office,
for ego, or money or power. People who know the difference between right and
wrong and aren't interested in pandering to the lowest common denominator
(lobbyists are tops of the crap pile). We need people who actually want to make
the United States and the world a better place. Government should not be a
place to appease the masses, but to better them.
