political correctness is turning everyone into idiotic socially acceptable morons. Common sense has left the building. The fear of having some group destroy a reputation that must be publically apologized for has everyone on eggshells and because offensiveness has trumped the belief in free expression, and acknowledgement that we ALL say and do stupid things has made us all emotionally retarded. Yes, I purposely said retarded. Get over it. It's not derogatory. It's descriptive.
I was waiting for the sarcasm tag. What you described is called the United States Constitution. The states are the cells, designed with the power to make decisions for themselves, with a central government to handle few tasks, such as defense. We are so smart now, they we figure those primitive people wouldn't set up the same system today. The Constitution was put in place to hold off our current version of government as long as possible.
Every four years for the Prez. Some people like to be lied to when the lies sound good. like Bill Clinton with a tear and a bible. people want to feel rather than think. Reminds me of the mediums that will tell you they are speaking to your dead relatives. They use generic terminology and you bend it to suit your situation. Mental slight of hand. Hope and change anyone? Seriously? People have been mentally melted by anything with a screen.
