Thread Name: BS: The Democratic Mandate
Subject: RE: BS: The Demoratic Mandate
I think, at some level, we want a reversion to a Bretton Woods style economic baseline such that speculation cannot run away with the national currency.
And we need a government that checks greed rather than fostering it.
And a government buy-and-pay system that is answerable for every million it spends.
And a voting system we can rely on.
And an ethics system that will constrain governmental malfeasance.
And a restoration and refurbishment of the code of individual rights under the law such that neither fanaticism nor government convenience can erode them.
