Changing the system

The beauty of what the system is in the new world USA is that we can still vote, and have it count. Now that is a big deal, since this simple idea is not universal, like many others in our world can't vote, or have it count if they even can vote. The obvious example is of "elected" Presidents for Life.

Now if one buys his idea of being special, which I think we are, then other ideas follow.

For example, many USA candidate people at all levels, be they federal, state, local, or school board should be voted on, and some need to be reinforced for doing a good job, and some need to be voted out for doing a poor job. Said another way, in an old time expression, let's not throw out the baby with the dirty bath water.

Now one can look at this dilemma in many ways, but mostly it is opportunity for change if the voters want change. Add to this the classical lying and misinformation that is promulgated (often called propaganda) during elections by politicians running for office, and one just has to wonder what we will end up with.

Now that is a typical voters dilemma.

And lord knows it doesn't take really hard times to make this apparent to so many voters who will be affected, one way or the other.
