Very succinctly said. One of my pet peeve is people shitting on the government but not recognizing that it is comprised of humans. While I am not American, my understanding of the way the Constitution was written along with it's purpose ( I guess that is what the Federalist Papers are for ) was to build in feedback mechanism to tame the worst human instincts. Unless we find a system which incorporates ways to naturally prevent human nature from fucking shit up, I don't really see a solution. I don't remember who said it, but one of the founding fathers apparently said that for this to work, it required an intelligent and politically-educated populace. Going back to teaching critical thinking to high school students might be a good start.
