Switzerland has true democracy.  Their parliament doesn't run in the red and they don't send their youths off to unnecessary wars.  Their representatives are public servants, instead of public enemies.  Their country is sustainable, not going to the dogs.  The Founders decided to stick with the tried and bogus -- anything but democracy.  Whence, our Rube-Goldberg government.  Isn't it time to give rubes a chance?  Do we have to suffer collapse before thinking maybe we're on the wrong track?  It's a pity to have to suffer from mistakes.
