So This Is How You Destroy A Democracy...

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

-Benjamin Franklin

Americans have shown us that the way to loose a democracy is not by force but through popular vote.

Americans have shown that if you give people freedoms they eventually, willingly, surrender it.

Americans have shown us that they would rather have a convicted felon than a woman to represent them.

The United States of America, as we know it, is no more: It was killed by it's own people. The once great nation is but a shadow of it's former self and the world is now worse because of it.

It's not clear which form of Government will emerge but it's unlikely to remain as it is now.

“LIKE THE FRAMERS themselves, many Americans in the early years of the Republic truly regarded the Constitution as a miracle. Not only did they praise the competence, wisdom, and motivations of those who served in the federal convention of 1787, but they declared that the formation and adoption of our new system of federal government represented a political achievement unprecedented in human history. They looked upon it, moreover, as an event that was actually "influenced, guided and governed" by the hand of God. Thus it is not hard to understand why our Founding Fathers believed that the Constitution was destined to bless all mankind-and that it was "incumbent on their successors" to preserve and defend our national charter of liberty…”

The Canadian Government has A Problem

I've watched hours of political debates lately and am frustrated with most of what I saw: A bunch of politicians trying to justify their existence through needless bickering with little to no progress made on the subject of the day - How are we, the citizens, benefiting from this? 

The problem in Canada is two political parties owns almost the same amount of seats. Every decisions made, by either parties, are met with a barrage of criticism and the charade is carried out for days. In situations like this, what's even the point of these debates?

The obvious fix is to have a majority Government but even then we need ways to improve this process as we can't be spending weeks to come to an agreement on the most basic of decisions. We can't be having all these people in a room for hours with no progress made.

In the private sector, business leaders don't have the luxury of endless meetings to make decisions as time is money but Government has access to a large amount of money and can take however much time they want. 

Am I missing something or can this process be improved in some way?
