But, we just can't seem to leave well enough alone sometimes! Heck, we revolted against England over some measly taxes!?!

We brought about impeachment proceedings against a president for lying about....wait for it....SEX!

So, now we have a new president-elect and the next four years may play out like a extended episode of 'My Name is Earl'.....

Invaded wrong country under false pretenses....oh, uh, sorry about that.

Forgot we signed the Geneva Convention....ok, wait, we can explain that.

Forgot about a entire city....now just hold on there! We were going back to New Orleans next year!

Point is, we DO live in a great country and our leaders(whatever their party) deserve to hear it when they screw up. It's really our duty to let them hear it!
i think the solution may come when technology 'll allow people to vote for the laws instead of deputies . i think it's a viable solution cause two much power in the hands of one man can lead to great messes if the guy's incompetent or disconnected from the people .
Concerning how to keep the morale up when i feel i have the morale a bit down cause for example i can't buy a thing i would like to i have a little thing i say to myself but the guy of the inferior caste in India what would he say if he had what you have that instantly raises my morale up
