Corruption

[close] I be the Resident storyteller of this place, but ye best be careful when ye come to the ports that reside in this here land. The people here are much more dangerous than most ye may meet. They be the dogs of the sea, but not the guard dogs that ye so much covet, they be the dangerous treasure hounds that stalk the waters and all the islands in all this world’s seas. There is one island where these Two legged Sea-Beasts reside on land, they hide within their lairs and keep from the normal land lovers. They be strong and Mighty, yet the run like cowards when facing an enormous threat, such as the monsters that truly rule the deep seas. They Stalk and creep through towns at night, pillaging the young women and Adding to their crews with the young rebels who dislike their lives. They be Pirates, and this be there world now.

[close] Welcome! It is an easy time to sit around and be frustrated with our system. Everyone talks about it. Conversations revolve around statements like, "They've totally corrupted the government" or "We have to get our system back on track." But what would you do about it? More interestingly, if you were cast into the role of one of the authors of the Constitution, what would you do differently to ensure a government truly focused on the needs of the people and the country? I have posed these questions to myself, as well as the natural followup questions: OK, if you have a better idea, how could it be brought about? Who would fight it? What other forces might be out there attempting to do something similar? And, left unchecked, where does the current system end up? If you have ideas or references to books that help answer this question please let them be known.
