Are you one of those people that just doesn't like the EC but is prepared to live with it? You're not revealing your true position on this issue. Do you even believe in the principle that government derives its JUST powers from the CONSENT of the governed? If you want it abolished what are your ideas on how push an antidemocratic and virtually reformproof system into reforming itself????
I know my proposal is drastic. But I DO believe in the principle of consent of the governed.... and how many more Bush and Trump Juntas will the nation tolerate when the nation's direction is changed AGAINST the will of the people?
Either you stand for something or you don't. Which is it and if it's in defense of democratic principles, what are YOU suggesting?
