This is so ridiculous it defies explanation (as does The U.S. doing the same thing, even to a lesser degree).  Let's see, how about a man and wife with four kids inviting two men to come live in their home, knowing that one is probably a serial killer?   Oh yes, that makes sense now.  Just have to put it in the right context.  Smh.

Didn't mean much when I was young, but now I look at what the Founding Fathers did and it amazes me.  What foresight.  What an amazing collection of intelligence.  Surprises me they didn't put rules for the Internet (joke).

Unfortunately, not even they could foresee, or would believe, what's happening now.  H-ll, I've lived thru it & I don't believe it.  But with the knowledge we have now, how would we improve the foundation?

Here's just a couple of things that come to my mind (Disclaimer:  I'm a functional illiterate, no T. Jefferson).  Term Limits (Smitty likes this).  Limit Fed Govt influence in State business so emphatically that there's no doubt, and same to 2nd Amendment. Last, and perhaps most important IMO, have an ironclad provision to prevent Political Parties!  

People in Anywhere, Texas elect Joe who's from there.  Has their values.  Joe gets to DC, as D/R Rep, and ends up under the thumb of the RNC/DNC.  A group of unelected, all powerful folks, who tell Joe how he must vote if he wants to remain.  Joe is no longer looking out for the interest of the citizens of Anywhere. He's become another puppet of the National Committee.  

For you young folks, it hasn't always been this bad.  It had started, but some elected officials still rep their constituents.  Now, for the most part, you only vote against your Party if there is enough votes to ensure their interest are going to pass anyway.  

Okay, I see several of you nodding off.  Please point out where I've messed up.
