Someone wrote aboutthat situation in a brilliant manner explaining democracy and the Constitution:

“The founders did not want an efficient government. They feared tyranny and created a regime that made governance difficult. Power was diffused among local, state and federal governments, each with their own rights and privileges. Even the legislative branch was divided into two houses. It was a government created to do little, and what little it could do was meant to be done slowly. The founders' fear was simple: Humans are by nature self-serving and prone to corruption. Thus the first purpose of the regime was to pit those who wished to govern against one other in order to thwart their designs. Except for times of emergency or of overwhelming consensus, the founders liked what we today call gridlock”.

WILL THE US MEDIA PLEASE HELP ITS NATION? We, the people of the USA, did all we could to find a worthy successor to President Obama. He had to be a Democrat.  The majority of popular votes polled by the Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton amply proved that. The majority could have been a lot more, had there been unity among Democrats before the party chose her as their candidate. They lost their unified popular support under the leadership of President Obama to partisan politics of entrenched politicians, which resulted in fewer Democrats turning up to vote for one in whom they did not have confidence! Have the Democrats learned their lesson? It does not seem to be so. If RNC Chairwoman is a hardly known entity - Ronna Romney McDaniel, Democrats have another almost equally unknown Tom Peres as Party Chairman! Why? Because the present Democrat Party office holders in the House, Senate and Party could not agree on a common name! Everyone had his/her ax to grind – solely pers...

The Five Stages to ‘Nirvana’ Criminals are not born, we develop them. After a criminal is caught for the first time and punished,  either the criminal reforms when the punishment is beyond tolerance; or gets more and more used to punishment, if the benefit from the criminal act is more than the quantum of punishment. This system produces a few hardened criminals, but somewhat effective, for lack of any other tried and tested method. However, it has not been popular because of the reluctance of legislators and courts, on humanitarian grounds and growing entrenched corruption in the enforcement apparatus which helped criminals. Second stage :  Human beings preferred to live in SMALL groups, as it was found to be better than living alone. This process led to bigger and bigger groups with their ways and habits of living, depending on their circumstances. Problems arose when the groups got bigger than the benefits available to them as a group. Since there was no way anymore...
