Tom, It is interesting that the US has gone down the road of having two dominant political parties and they
are the ones that candidates are elected from. Much different than the sometimes very fragile coalition
governments that we see in Europe, and else where on occasion. It does seem that are system does create
a type of checks and balances where candidates, policies and policy decisions are pulled towards a central
Gravitational area. One that is not to far to the left or right, over time.

With all of the fallings of the US political system in the twentieth century, we still managed to have a very
vibrant, responsive culture and society that has been created. It's interesting that the US stock market for years
has had the best returns during the so called periods of "GridLock" where the President belongs to one party and
the US Congressional Majority is of the other Party.

It's been expressed that when "GridLock" exists that the Politicians can not do anything so radical and
destabilizing to the economy or to national psyche.

I'm also supportive of states rights, and an advocate of a somewhat limited government.

John
