The Constitution our Founding Fathers made up was the best there is. You won't find a better one. I am tired of people whining about our Constitution and how bad it is. People just make a pitch for socialism and direct democracy. It's just getting so old listening to Utopians beg for their happy world where no one has to work.
That's your opinion. I disagree. I think the Swiss have a better constitution so I already found one.
How is direct democracy within a constitutional republic worse than representative government within a constitutional republic? One of the biggest gripes all around is that DC doesn't do the will of the people. What better way than having the people speak for themselves?
Who said anything about Utopia and not having to work?

Concentration of power in a few hands? How about placing the power in the hands of the people at a local level, in representatives at the national level and one world coordination at the world level. An expanded Swiss model should work.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! "We"? Ohhhhhhh! So you and others would be in charge of this borderless one world government? Whew! All righty then, count me in. Do I kneel and swear fealty now, or do I have to take some kind of test first?
