[QUOTE]Originally posted by mjm2005: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Gordon Bennett: [qb] Agreed, the political process is all a farce. What's your solution? [/qb][/QUOTE]Well, that's the problem... Can anyone see a forseeable solution? How many of us would advocate the removal of television? Some would argue that it poses more good than bad...and vice versa... Yet, it's so ingrained in society, that it would be very difficult to remove such a medium... I, for one, am not against television... I just think that it is becoming outdated... The internet offers a solution... It meshes the two worlds together quite well (the multimedia age/world and the written/text age/world) A friend of mine is a progressive... He tries not to align himself with political parties, yet he comments upon current politics as well as theorizes about future ones... He and I recently had a discussion... This discussion concerned the war, present politics, and a far fetched solution... Now, it is obvious that liberal and conservative propaganda gets us nowhere... Attack what we don't like in order to fix it? (Hmmm, sounds familiar)... It just doesn't make sense. What we were thinking was that there would need to be a "world globalization." It's interesting because the United States has undergone a similar globalization, per se. For example, our country wasn't always a nation... it was a group of colonies... these colonies grew larger and larger... finally, they got to become defined areas with borders, yada yada yada... we have a group of UNITED States... Now, I do admit that these states sometimes do not work out well...but there are things in place (Constitution, Dec of Ind, the House, the Senate, etc) that can make changes if the need arises... Well, that's all just an overview... What we need is a democratically appointed UN with actual power... Now, this is something, if you think about it, that would be good. F the UN representatives... That doesn't do anything. We need appointed leaders to act as part of the UN. Get Bush and Blair to be UN representatives... Have real punishment for violating the UN code... Yet, we have a HUGE problem still... How have we solved the problem of the corrupt political process? How do we achieve this world globalization??? One unforseeable solution could be this (WARNING WARNING-- HIGHLY IDEALISTIC NOT REALISTIC)--> 1) We do away with party designations (Didn't our fore-fathers warn about the dangers of a bi-partisan system?)-- This will remove blind voting based upon party alignment... 2) Candidates are required to list their stance on issues and CANNOT change at an point during their campaign... change would result in forfeiture of their ability to be voted for 3) Voters (unless they have a VALID excuse) are required to vote... This would ensure a true democracy... It is horrible that so much of our voting age population doesn't vote each election... 4) Voters would be given a sheet with the candidate's stance on major issues... Without the party designation, voters would need to look at these stances and make an informed decision... 5) Candidate wins based upon the popular vote (Idk about this one, maybe) This elected official then represents our country in the fully functional UN... *********WORK IN PROGRESS...I'll add to it later...just some 4AM ramblings...
