<< Have to jump in here, Robert. >> Be my guest, but the water's a little cold. << With the extreme power of the courts in the this country now, irrespective of the election crap, has made everyone less accountable and less responsible for their actions. >> Extreme power? What extreme power? The courts only interpret that which has been made law by the legislatures. But, being as we are human, we sometimes make conflicting or confusing laws. The remedy is to make corrections in the law, after problems have come up, or after a proactive action by a legislator. << This election has denigrated into class warfare, which is pathetic. >> Class warfare? Throughout history, there has always been at least two sides to an issue. It is natural, and will always be this way. In this case, there are people of all types supporting either the Democrats or the Republicans, or the Green Party, etc., or not voting at all. << And in this system, responsible people have to carry irresponsible people. >> Could you be more specific? What do you mean? How does it fit this election? << There is a distinct reason why Europe is rapidly going down the toilet. >> Europe has never been better. What are you talking about? In the past we have seen two world wars. Europe is experiencing peace and prosperity. Are they free from problems?

I would also like to see much better public schools? What drives your soul?
