I think our republic will end up being one of the high points of human civilization but I believe it has run its course . it is a great form of government on paper but I think the founding fathers failed to take into account human nature . at this point anybody that wants to be a politician that should disqualify them immediately . I think we should go to something like the jury system for appointing politicians local and federal. If you meet the requirements of being a candidate you’ll be chosen at random and have to serve for years and four years only to never serve again. You get paid what you were making when you get called.Plus no lobbying no earmarks in Congress this is corruption that is carried on right before our very eyes with no attempt to disguise it . The president remains elected. Probably a good idea for big city police departments also ,the corruption level is off the charts there also . I hate to break it to you but even in the best case scenario this country will never be the same . I am very old with a short amount of time left on this earth my goal at this point is to protect my family and property now when I was a younger man in my prime I would be the first volunteer to start the counterinsurgency I would not go down without even a fight .
