Looking at all these quotes just remind me of how MAD the Founding Fathers would be if they saw this country now.
We have a government that, IMHO, doesn't remotely resemble what our founding fathers intended.
No you have a country that is a democracy that has a government that resembles what the majority of the people voted for.

You dont have to like it but then again you get a chance to change that in a few years time. The argument about the founding fathers tires me out a bit. Why keep harking on about the past, things change, societies change.

You no longer live in the same place as when the founding father were alive, and i dont mean geographically. If you go far back enough then what would the Indians of the 1600 / 1700 say if they
could see America today, they would be shocked and horrified, but that is to be expected isn't it ?

Generally when i look at recent history and compare it against the present unless i was in the wealthy minority i would be much happier living now than in any other time in the past.

At the moment the world is in Recession and lots of people are pissed as it was generally the fault of the Rich (bankers in this case) and as through out the rest of history the ordinary man and woman end up paying the bill. I can understand that disaffection but to question the way your whole country is run seems a little harsh.

Currently we have a government in the UK with a Majority party that's name has been mud in the UK for 13 years, and that i personally think are a waste of space and i dont agree with a lot of there policies but they are still the government they have been voted in and until someone comes up with a better system this is the one we have to live under.

The one thing i never understood about American politics is the fact the members of the government can hold outside jobs on the boards of major corporations at the same time as serving in office. It seems like a whole load of conflicts of interest waiting to happen.
