Well, Ron, the Founding Fathers didn't create the political parties with the constitution so I'm not too sure why power can't be shared. Oh, other than the stupid winner take all system, that's why. Yes, it looks as if it is going to take a revolution. No, maybe not an armed one but for someone to come along, like Barryn Goldwater (more on him next), plant the seed that "we are our worst enemies" and let it grow in the minds of the people.

First, the system is badly broken. Think about a hostile takeover of a corporation. So you realize that if two different corporations compete to take over a third that the corporation with the highest bid, even if it is one friggin' penny, wins. Now what that means is that one penny allows one CRO to control the entire taken over corporation. Well the American system of government is no different in any respect, except rather than it be a penyy it's a vote. All this system insure is hostility and arrogance. We need ***prorated representation*** if this country is to survive itself. Like Doctor Phil asks, "Is it working for you?" We, quite frankly, no!

Now back to Barry Goldwater. Goldwater was a seed planter. He opened the doors for the conservatives in his defeat. He took themes and put them out there for consideration and folks initial *reaction* was that the guy was nuts. But those seeds produces a *culture* that would one day elect a Ronnie Reagan.Thant's what I mean. I would vote for John Kerry if he would stand up and say the obvious: "The system is broken and if I am elected president I am going to prepose a constitutional ammendment that requires prorated representation, beginning in the electorial college and working it's way down to the way states elect their Representatives in the U.S. House of Represenatives!!!" And he could follow that up by saying amoung his vatious appointments, from cabinet level on down, that he would seek to appoint folks who better represent the country, picking from Repubs, Greens, Libertarians. Shoot there room enough for everyone.

But John Kerry won't do this. Why? Because just like the folks in the other fraternity and the CEO that won that bidding war in the hostile takeover, he loves his power.
