fool, since you're familiar with the Glenn Beck show I wonder if you could provide some perspective.
When he talks about the roots of the country, the Founders, Constitution etc. - do you think he's historically accurate? Or is it more of an emotional hook or metaphor for what he feels the country should be about?
Do you think the Founders, Constitution etc. embodied wisdom that resonates with the Law of One? Is a return to a strict interpretation of the Constitution the best we could still do, or are there more evolved political philosophies that might serve us better today?
Do you think that Beck's suggested directions would be excellent for the country?
Peregrinus, I'm a fan of the vote lottery. To become a candidate, buy a ticket. If you win, you have to serve a term in office and then you get the jackpot and can't hold office again. This would give us politicians that can't be bought, don't care about re-election, and are a random cross-section of the population. How about it?
