[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't understand your despair. Democracy has never been especially "functional" per se. The overwhelming majority of people are dumb as rocks. If you choice to give them a voice, you shouldn't expect pearls of wisdom. Neither should you expect elected officials who have priorities other than lining their pockets by using the sheep-like electorate. Governments come and go, but this underlying principle remains the same.[/quote] I think maybe the Eisenhower/Kennedy years were the high water mark of for functionality of the U.S.'s system of government. Then things changed for many reasons, but I think it is mostly due to a lack of consensus anymore among we the people. (also the election of a few scalawags into the office of the presidency).[/quote] This was the rise of the middle class family in the U.S. [/quote]
