By the People, For the People?

   

Here's an idea...

 

Remove all Pomp from the Circumstance of the Presidency, treat it as the civic duty it actually is, turn the election into a lottery - Everybody who wants the job enters their name to be chosen by Chance (which is an actual force at work in the Universe), gives one year of their lives sitting in the big chair, serving their country to the best of their ability - No switching out staff or redecorating the house everytime somebody new passes through (though it should definitely be repainted some other color, I vote PINK) - and for The People's sake, tear down that fucking fence

Excellent ideas!  Myself, I

Excellent ideas!  Myself, I prefer the way the Founders wrote it, although I would abolish the electoral college and the second term.

Personally I think...

we should all be self-governing and trust our fellow humans to be the same but that is a very tough concept to sell:D

Thanks for visiting _()_

RE: to the guy who just pm'd me...

no thank you... I much prefer hanging out on my forty, smoking weed all day long and minding my own business... I realize "The American Dream" and I can tell you I didn't come to it by going along with the status quo..."The Status Quo is the enemy of Liberty" - I suppose there are some of us that don't want to be free, which is fine by me, however we must not impose our rules on others so that we can feel safe in our prison...

   

to the other guy who just pm'd me... no, you must realize your own dream... however you may leave your phone number and I will call you when I need firewood... 

  

to the other other guy who just pm'd me... yes indeed I do have some thoughts on how to implement such a plan in which I have no vested interest whatsoever (and neither should you;)... let me know when you're ready, best make it quick before you-know-who declares himself king (in all seriousness I am curious to know exactly when you thought America was ever great)...
