Maybe if the executive was more vulnerable to a recall at any time, like most parliamentary democracies, or if representatives were elected for 4-6 years rather than two (or of course if it was actually illegal to take bribes from special interests--naw, that's way too radical). Anyway, it seems that the election circus with its endless opportunity for corruption and silliness is what determines ALL American policy, foreign or domestic. We simply can't be as dumb as we look. There's got to be a better way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
