I wish the cops in Portland, Oregon were as efficient as Sherman is. Lock em up.
I'm the one who got Danoh banned. (He starred out some bad words instead of leaving them out altogether :nonowhat a delightful shade of red

The problem is 'us vs them'. As long as the other side is the enemy instead of the minority to negotiate with to reach the best legislative compromises, we will go nowhere. As best as I can tell both sides are at new lows and digging deeper.
And this is why democracy (or its kissing cousin "republic") is bad. It inherently divides the people over even the smallest issues.
Monarchy ftw!
British House of Commons 11 Nov 1947Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…
Whichever party is not in power are obstructionists. The Democrats don't have a monopoly there.
The Dem party has officially taken obstruction to another level with the likes of Max Waters (and her ilk at the fore)...

I think Churchill put it best:
British House of Commons 11 Nov 1947
Our Republic system tries to some degree to fix the worst of the problems with democracy but it is highly dependent on the majority and the minority working together to achieve the best possible balance for all.
Trying to fix problems with another problem doesn't work.
Republics/democracies rely on the majority to lead the country.
But God says that the majority are wicked, and therefore any nation based on majority rule will become increasingly more wicked as time progresses. Take America, for example.
We started out very well, being the minority against England. But look at us today, crime happens on a regular basis, and the government can't keep up, and has even legalized major crimes.
No, democracy/republic is not the answer.
It has those problems but of the alternatives, it is still the best choice.
And America attempts to address the issue of the majority with the constitutional protections that help to protect the minority and give it a voice in society.
Someone who protects the life in the womb, and disallows sexual immorality to run rampant, who honors God in all he does.Bump...
