I've been thinking about that. The 1960s song from Steppenwolf, "Monster" comes to mind. "There's a monster on the loose..." No one election or one elected politician or even one law can reign it in. When we try, the politicians are ignored or sucked in or any laws are overturned by courts.
Like any out of control monster, it doesn't go easily. That's why compromise works so poorly. It feeds the beast, just a little less.
Do I make any sense?
Yes, perfect sense.
I do not even think that any series of elections will reign the beast in.
I am not sure that anything can.
It boils down to the fact that mankind is utterly corrupt and cannot be trusted with power over other men at all.
