Description
Mistakenly posted a preliminary version of this last month...here is the (more) finished version.
As America celebrates our nation, let us not be blind to our flaws, our two party system that is dividing us instead of uniting us.

Interesting observations.
As for party politics - I have long held the belief that this is a flawed system. Parties should be outlawed and replaced by truly representative individuals who vote the way the majority of their constituents have selected democratically. Not vote the way the party dictates.
Though the trouble with any political system is that they have people in them.
Douglas Adams was quite correct in his assertion that anyone who wants to be in politics should be disbarred from that profession for that very reason. The only honest representative is one who doesn't want the job.

Ah...yes, the great Douglas Adams. I loved his portrayal of how silly human society (and politics and economics) can be, such as the group that defined leaves as money, and then tried to control supply (and demand) by deforestation.
I also read a short Science Fiction story once where a side comment was a future society in which presidents were drafted into service as president without wanting the power (specifically because they would then do a good job once in office).
