I said I'll give you a learned and reasonable critique of your proposals - or discuss them if you prefer that term. However, it is impossible to do without the basic assertion of a problem. Without a definition of a problem, your solutions just hang in the air as your personal wishlist. That is to say, they have no substantive meaning.In each case,(or at least most) I beleive I gave reasons for my wish to change the particular situation. If you want to consider that a wish list, so be it.
Indeed, several of your proscriptions are contradictory I would be interested in knowing whichwhich is why I inquired as to the problem that is proposed to be solved by such 'innovations'.

Yes, I approach politics and philosophy from a theoretical perspective. It is a product of my university education in these fields. I do have an Honours BA degree in Political Science (and an MA in Political Philosophy). Obviously I'm not qualified to assess your proposals. Hmm, you seem to think I was being insulting. I WAS NOT, just honest.

Rather it is obvious to an apparently large number of Americans (including yourself) that anything American is apparently superior to all other things. This premise is held on faith and patriotism (and a healthy dose of propaganda), not any learned substantiation. Did you say Political science, or psychology, Now "YOU sound like Jester (Trueheart) The above was my meaning, tho apparently it is the present beleif of a good portion of the rest of the world.[

Looks like you are moving into Simon territory now - asserting that I am wrong by definition of you being right.HA HA, Now THAT is funny. I neither said nor intended any such thing Are you sure you are not a clone of his???

Indeed. I've offered a clear and obvious critique based on real world evidence against your opening statement upon which you base your proposals and you are speechless in reply. Speachless?? I have no idea what you were talking about.

It isn't a "solution" until the problem is identified. Merely asserting that you don't like the present way the US government is run does not constitute a problem for anyone but you.NONSENSE

As for my "edification", I respectfully submit that trying to play consdescention games with me is quite tiresome.Man, you are really thin skined. What in He11 is wrong with using the word edification. In the past, I thought you and I had gotten along rather well. Now you seem to have a chip on your shoulder.

SORRY I BOTHERED YOU.
