I dont know how old you are - but I am about 40 - if you asked me on a myriad of issues what I think now compared to 20 years ago some would be the same and some not the same -

If you asked most people how they would feel about attacking Iraq after right 9/11 compared to 10 years later - I was against from the get go but many acted on impulse

we have a senate who is elected every 6 years so not to have to be as political and the same with the supreme court - we should have direct elections for president

the House is the emergency break per se - it is important that it be elected every 2 years in case we realize we made a big mistake and need to fix it quickly

some things that would help moving forward : more sunset clauses to laws - and similarly - making laws need to be relected on in a year after the hype wears off

Now a days most states have initiative referendums - I think we also need score voting and public controlled debates that let everyone in who is on the ballot -

how you play the game is whether you win or lose - kind like the map is the destination, or the journey is -

people want a fair game otherwise what is the point in playing

sorry for grammer
