Good questions all

but, you can't get there from here.

The biggest problem with govern-cement is its run by an oligarchy. A psychopathic oligarchy who has made rituals of psychologically fracturing their children through various tortures, so that they are assured of becoming a psychopath too.

The devil promises you love, but it can never deliver.
The devil doesn't even know what love is. But it knows how to manipulate lust and lead people on with promises.

The reason govern-cement doesn't appear to work is because EVERYTHING has ulterior motives to what is labelled on the tin. The affordable care act had nothing to do with affordableness or care. The homeland security act had nothing to do with security, or our country. (where in the world is the homeland? It is not an american word)

A government can be good, but it will take changing all the people in it. It will require completely new thinking about how to organize, how to measure performance and how to get things done.

Representatives also need to change. We, for the most part, can vote ourselves. However, we need much better data about proposals. We also need to stop this stupid 51% bullshit. If it is to be a law, in needs to pass by at least 90%. Or, 90% of the people are already following it, we just need to write down the punishment for breaking it.

Further, elections should happen over about a month, and not be for president, but be for something like, head person for building this road from point A to point B. And they should be able to fired faster.

And other such things
