If the shoe of my comments doesn’t fit, then don’t wear it. :)
I realize you used the words “quite good” in your remarks, so I wasn’t really
talking about you when I made my comments…but we hear all the time,
particularly during this increasingly absurdist campaign…that we’ve (there’s
that “we” again( got the best or the only fill in the blank in the world, I’m
also thinking of Trump’s really scary and nauseating remarks about what he
plans to make the military, the greatest military, all will fear it, no one
will mess with the US, etc...

Please go back and read my commentary a little more slowly and absorb the
descriptions carefully. Please.

I still stand by my opinion that most of the people who insist that the US

KoolAid…every other place on earth is a barren wasteland of oppression and
inferiority, and it is not true. As I’ve said so often, love the US or
whatever is your homeland, but don’t then think part of loving where you
live requires you to bash and denigrate every other place.

All:
I disagree!
The governmental form of these United States is really quite good when
compared with the other forms we have in this world.
Unfortunately many of the people we have hired to operate the system for
us have proven to be quite inept at operating the system. I have
personally described the developed system as an "ineptocracy" as opposed to
"democracy" (which we are not) or "Constitutional Republic" (which we are).

Hi all,
I think that Carl, Miriam, Roger and myself and others here can all agree
regarding our disenchantment with the United States' government.
