Re: Benefit of the doubt "There should be no enemies to the gov't, just constituents."
Different constituents have different and competing interests. Therefore any policy is going to have friends and enemies and the enemies are going to work to undermine the policy.
"A gov't of the people should be transparent and specific, not vague."
This is a tricky problem. When one is trying to fashion open, transparent, and fair government and one is confronted by groups that are not open and transparent organizations themselves, do not conceive of fairness and honesty as part of their agenda, and generally do not act in good faith how can one cope without exhibiting some subtlety oneself?
I realize this suggests that corruption is inevitable and opens me to charges of hypocrisy. I don't have a simple solution to this problem. |

I also suggest that each constituent should be given equal weight, that includes corporations that should only be given as much preference as any other single constituent. At least, until coporate personhood is eventually retracted. |
