We need to be careful about how we structure the use of the net so that we do not fall into the non-structure of mob rule. The Founders were very meticulous about seeking to spare us that. They built in potential strife at every level, also known as “checks and balances” so as to keep it very difficult to get anything done! Just my thoughts.

I hear what you are saying, but something akin to organized crime is running the Congress now. Having grown up a mist organized crime. I would say they were pikers compared to todays Congress, both sides of the aisle.

Exactly right!

A Representative Republic, not a democracy.

Keep the Founders’ blueprint. Make it impossible for the critters to subvert it to the bidding of their masters and their own profit.

The Constitution is the baby. The problem is the swampy bathwater.
