It's a strong system, but susceptible to amazing disconnect from the People.

Indeed, which is why most everyone here is so politically active! Thank you for your post!

Yes, and for some, if not most, the learning is rapid and deep. Too bad our public school indoctrination system failed to inform us of what is really going on. For example, they glossed over the Constitutional Convention of 1787. What was that about? I would bet that a man-on-the-street poll would disclose that less than 10% of Americans who graduated high school are even aware there was such a thing, confusing it with the original Confederation of 11 years earlier, and confusing the Confederation with the events of the 1860s.
