Maastricht Treaty revisions needed?

We're far from qualified. That's why we have a representative form of government. So that those running the country can pay attention to the details those of us having a different life cannot.

If you have problems with the *people* in the government, then I have to agree -- although I don't think they are all as bad as you seem to think. If you have problems with how we select them, how they get into office, how they stay in office, again I agree.

Mostly, I think they tend to be slightly better than this guy. But not much. Occasionally, a bit of the slime mold of corruption is revealed, and there is a show of some house cleaning, but generally, political corruption exudes from the Republican, and Democratic machines in most every state, and oozes freely from our nations capital.
