  1. until you lift your eyes up from personalities and start looking at principles, the usa is doomed. and probably humanity. but let's pretend we are indeed sapiens enough to survive: the structure of american society is designed to ensure the few rich rule the many poor. the rich buy politicians, and it's easy to do, for they are few and greedy. carter might be the best of men in the oval office, but that is a very low standard. he exonerated the men of the mylai massacre, in order to get into office, so let's not pretend he was anything but a politician. if you want a nation concerned with the general welfare and in favor of peace and justice, scrap the constitution and start over: establish democracy.

  2. you don't live in a democracy. you are too ignorant, too passive, too lazy to do anything about the constitution that keeps you penned in the sheep pasture, so railing about the sins of your masters is unproductive. step over to a mirror and see your real problem.

  3. carter was a politician, he defended the murderers of mylai to hold support in the south for his presidential ambitions. call him ' best of breed, ' if you wish, but it's a low standard. americans don't deserve better government. if you are willing to assent to the rule of politicians, what you see is what you get. democracy is possible, but unlikely as long as the limit of your hope is to find a just and loving fairy god-mother in politics. you need better quality people to sustain democracy, and your choice of king-for-awhile is naturally of the same low standard. you can't breed race-horses out of donkeys.
