It's time for a Constitutional Convention.
Our system of government is clearly broken. Almost entirely, it represents only the narrow interests of its donors. Nothing of import can be accomplished which truly threatens the prerogatives of the ruling class. It is largely unresponsive to the concerns of everyday people, and has allowed our educational, social, and transportational infrastructure to lag behind most of the developed world.
All this has happened under the venerable Constitution of the United States, which, for all its historical radicalism, is grounded in the late 19th Century. And it's very, very, hard to change. What are citizens of a free republic to do? Blow the thing up and start again?
