The Republican party doesn't care, for it is the political representative of the nation's wealth and, therefore, of the nation's rich and powerful corporations. Republicans merely seek less radical leadership, more tax benefits, and more reductions in federal social programs.

The opposition Democrat party doesn't care, for it is filled mostly with cheap opportunists, more concerned with their lucrative jobs than in solving the problems of the people who elected them to solve their problems. Democrats merely seek a more dynamic person to lead their party to victory in the next presidential election; one dedicated to the traditional goals of the party.

Ordinary American citizens don't care, at least, not enough to do what must be done to save their lives and the lives of their children.

All of this uncaring is made possible by the American System created by the Constitution of the United States, which was written by wealthy Americans to benefit wealthy Americans.

Naturally, the document gives wealthy American citizens political power, denying ordinary working citizens the opportunity to influence the values and laws of their country. The consequences of this arrangement is that it has allowed wealthy Americans to grasp for themselves many economic opportunities that should have belonged to the collective public.

Which is why today, as we enter the 21st century, ordinary working

Americans are still underpaid for their labor and still struggle for a fairer share of the republic's good things.

These few truths should be enough for reasoning Americans to reject the biased two-party political system and give priority to developing another, fairer system. But strangely enough, though there is within the masses great discontent with the political system and much anger with the current federal Administration, most Americans shy away from talking about changing the System.

What does this mean? Well, it might mean the American masses are incapable of thinking about important and complicated problems. Or it may be they are too lazy to think about such things. Or, perhaps, they are too timid to take the necessary actions, which may be why so few public personalities talk about the subject? It could be a number of reasons. The bottom line, however, is that the country is going to hell in a handbasket and no one in authority is taking positive actions to stop it and turn things around.

So, if it's not true that ordinary American people are stupid, or lazy thinkers, or simply don't care whether or not we are propelled into a world of continuous violent conflict, as it seems we are heading, they had better address the problem themselves. And quickly. Before it is too late.

To get the ball rolling, I would like to offer a fairly reasonable plan?
