One thing mankind is not capable of is making sound judgments

Sounds like a judgment.

Seriously, there are a lot of flaws in the current system put in place by Congress. Even if Newt's suggestion is not the solution, at least he's talking about doing something to address the problem instead of just ignoring it.

In fact, Congress would have to fix the problem. Newt could lobby from the WH. Any solution based firmly on the Constitution would be challenged in court by the Left as, of course, unconstitutional. If the courts tried to enjoin implementation of a law that would make judges lose their jobs, things would get interesting.

It is a judgment, but I never said it was sound :D

Seriously though, our system is broken beyond fixing, and the reason it is broken beyond fixing is because man himself is broken beyond fixing.

I realize what I am about to say is utterly irrational, but I’m going to say it anyway.

Another person has as much power over you as you give them. I no longer give any other person on this insane planet power over me. I hereby take it all back. I no longer want the corrupt influence of other men in my life whatsoever. If I could up myself and my dog to a frickin deserted island, that is exactly what I would do.

I don’t know how else to say it, but I’ve lost my confidence and compassion in and for mankind. It is one thing to know mankind is flawed, I can accept that, I am flawed.

It is quite another thing to acept the corruption and evil nature of man. I do not, in fact, I reject it, and I am disgusted by it. I’ll end my rant now, because I know it doesn’t have any effect on anything, but this is where I am at >_>
