to admire our form of government... to accept the fact that ours was the best democracy in the world. I dont know if I was wrong then or not but our democracy is now almost the worst democracy in the world. No democracy on this earth would allow a presidential candidate to raise $1 billion for reelection. No democracy would allow the presidential candidate to "spend" that much, let alone accept the funds. No other democracy would allow private interests to take the president aside and buy his help with more funds for his election. And no democracy on earth is set up so stupidly with an electoral college that makes winning the presidential election a product of convincing a plurality of 7% how to vote to make the difference.
Sure this is all old stuff.... I've got more time to think about things now so....
