  1. anyone actually trying to understand american society should start with the constitutional convention, where madison spelled out his goals and methods to the state grandees who could establish his document. then and now connect smoothly, even considering the transition from actual slavery to wage slavery to gig survival. the guiding principle has always been, that there should be no bar between the desire of a man with money and his interest. he was pragmatic enough to allow limited restrictions, stealing from the rich could best be prevented by government sanctions, transferring the cost of protection to the public. the immediate situation is the collapse of a social and political system hopelessly incapable of managing public affairs today. corruption and incompetence are inescapable, and reform is impossible. the usa must start over, if it wishes to survive. but there is so little community spirit that 'it' has no consensus anywhere, there is no 'it.' i am reduced to hoping that a reasonably civilized state will emerge on the west coast, and another on the north eastern corner, and the rest will sink into obscurity, as bubbaland.
