#3 The parlimentry system doesn't work. I wish people would stop trying to use it. Not enough checks and balances like a republic has. Our founding fathers were true geniuses (or were just THAT cynical).

#4 When it comes to limiting politicians, true genius IS being that cynical.

#5 Steven Den Beste had a piece on his views comparing American vs. parliamentary election systems. It's a long technical essay (is there any other kind from SDB?), that basically says our system is like a more fault-tolerant electronic system with a better S/N ratio. Fascinating read if you have the time and inclination.

False Dilemma, they were both.
