You say you recognize that our current path is going to end in the destruction of the republic, so what the hell do we have to lose by trying?
You have to have more than a want-to or need-to.
IMO...(my opinion based on experience in business and history) is that you have to destroy, obliterate the old to change it.
The body of law, that I keep referring to is essentially what they use to guide current policy and to make decisions. It’s called precedents. You find this in government in every corner. In the House, the Senate, The presidency and most importantly SCOTUS.
We have a bi cameral political system and both parties cling to precedent like Linus and his security blanket. All 535 of them.
Tar and feathers.......That’s the answer and you need to burn it all.
Then after a while, and slowly you rebuild it but this time you expand the Constitution to include instructions as to how to interpret it in a variety of issues that have plagued us for 200 years.
But that’s not likely to happen, is it..
You cannot expect perfection. They did not expect it when the wrote the document. They had to trust that good men would do the right things..
But men don’t do they...
Even good men make fatal errors.
The very first time they passed a bill giving money from the treasury to any individual, family, or business because of some disaster, Federalism took a back seat to FED Gov and it’s 535 lawmakers..
That’s a very old precedent.
In 1929 Capitalism took a dive and the government intervened..
That’s a precedent.
Just two of thousands of examples where no matter who you elect or what they would like to do once elected, when they get to DC they have to play the game or become like Cruz, a
personae non grata.
That’s why nothing can change.
There is more I need to get out of my head before I go...
Take a good look around at the governments and societies in all the democratic countries. Take a look at the demands made by the people of those democracies and you cannot escape the conclusion that society is gradually becoming socialist. They are no longer responsible for anything, including their own lives.
It’s not the government that did that. it’s the people who did that to the government.
This has happened before in ancient history and as we know, history repeats. It’s human nature, It’s easier.
In my view, this merges into my belief that it all blows up and fairly soon, years, maybe a couple decades.
It cannot survive reality. It has to consume it’s self at some point.
Now look at the US....same thing here..
So you think you can convince these people, a majority of them to turn any clock back and make it harder? To do that voluntarily?
Good luck with that...
Food for thought..
