We all hate how little power we have over the government and how we cant do anything to stop the govt from over using its power. I am sure that everyone is also sick of having to choose the lesser of two evils when it comes to elections. I have been researching truly democratic countries (and how to start one myself) and the only one I found is Switzerland. I am American so I am not going to move just because I am sick of the US govt. I want to know why we cant change our govt type to be a true democracy. Obviously, the govt officials will not want this to happen because they will loose their power but the constitution says that the people have the right to change their govt type. Please let me know if you are aware of any initiatives like this and where I could find them. Only serious answers please.

hi

i'm from Europe and would love to come to the States and stay there. I'm a student of English but I intend to get my master's degree in translation. I checked the Department of State's website and it says you can apply for a job only if you're an American citizen. How long does it take to get a citizenship and how long do you have to have that citizenship (how many years prior) before you can get a job like this (working for the US government or something)

thanx

In too many elections (like the one just passed) I find myself looking at ballots where I don't want ANY of the candidates elected. But there's no way to vote, "None of the Above" (NOTA)

Would you favor a Constitutional Amendment that all elections include a choice of NOTA, and that if NOTA won an election, a NEW elections would be held in which none of the candidates in the prior election could run?

Neither party seems to stand for anything. Both burn your tax money like it was firewood. Both limit your freedoms. Never has it been more true that, "If Government is the answer - it must be a pretty stupid question."

So why don't Americans wake up and realize that for every dollar they pay in taxes, they get maybe 10 cents in benefits? Why don't they figure out that every new law just adds to the cost of government? Government is the biggest employer in the country - but it doesn't produce anything but misery.

Followup question: Is it time for a second revolution?

Jeb Bush is a stud.

When he dismantled affirmative action in Florida eight years ago, he was politically and legally adept enough to do so in a manner that avoided Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton's accusations of racism.

In fact, his program, One Florida, boasted a record $761.2 million dollars spent by the state with legally certified minority-and-female owned contractors .

This past fiscal year, Florida was very good to minority-business people.

Should other states examine Florida's example?

Who would dare oppose us? Seriously, would he catch a bullet for his secret service agents? you know, back in the beginning of life in the mid east, someone once told Chuck Norris that a roundhouse kick is not the best way to kill a man. Historians consider this the worse mistake in history. Would he even need a running mate? What are your thoughts on President Norris?

When I ask this question, I mean it in a serious way. You have to stop and consider all of the innocent men we have out there fighting for us, but for what purpose? Because they enjoy watching each other die? No. It's because the president wants them over there. Whatever the reason is, we may never really know for sure. I love this country, don't get me wrong. But I think it's wrong to try and make other people that are used to THEIR system of living and try to make them like us. That just makes this country seem plain out greedy. It's stupid to make them live how we are. We have no right to tell them how to live when they have been living that way for thousands of years now.
