Long long ago, there was an ideal of democracy. Where some wise people realized that if they can't have all, no one shall. Not like this but perhaps experience taught these noble men that power corrupts and we are only human?
Democracy is meant to distribute power, so as to facilitate the greater good - justice, fairness & to defend the rights of every person.
Then why this ranting? Did something go wrong? Oh yes indeed! I am going to talk about US and not about the largest democracy in the world, India. Again, pls. keep in mind that the "IMHO" will be applicable to all entries on the blog; hence the blog and not the NY Post!
Power is available to a select few: Oligarchy! If your Daddy is not a politician, bad luck.
Public service is missing the "Public". Only politicians, Lawyers & public servants retain the power. Again we have this word "public"? Why is the Government not afraid of the people; their right to vote, to accept or deny what the government is doing to the people.
Why does the Law make it so difficult to sue a public servant?
Why can a law laid out by a court, learned people in the profession of justice & public service seem to go against common sense? Why is common sense so under rated & it seems necessary to have a warning on a step saying "Heres a step!"
Now like a monarchy we can inherit public services; say being a Governor or a President.
From the movies that I have seen, the court seems to be lenient with any kind of crime if the defender pleads insanity. So what if you want to get away with breaking all sorts of laws, where you decide to break the constitutional right of the people, or condone people who are being convicted of breaking the law. Well media spins it off as humor & people can get away with anything.
Is doing the right thing a political career suicide? How can we sack a politician for screwing it up? How can the Congress feel the heat from the people for creating crappy legislators?
Why can't we just scrap the stupid laws & legislations made over the past 30 yrs? Will we loose a lot of wisdom or our proclivity to dumbness.
Where the Supreme court seems to always decide 5:4 in favor. What are the other 4 justices thinking? Cases being pleaded by the Supreme court could be decided unanimously. The importance of the matter should be self evident, being the Supreme court & yet, 4 justices are against it.
.. I will continue later.
