21. No, I'm not playing any bullshit game.
We're brought up to believe that the US has the "greatest democracy in the world" but that is bullshit. The structure of our government is there to keep direct democracy out of the hands of the people. And changing the structure of government is not "dumb" if the purpose is to make government more responsive to the citizenry and more flexible to correct problems and failures. Why do so many people think that the moment they signed off on the Constitution that they turned around and etched it in stone.
