Corporate and personal corruption. Term limits. Lack of diversity in represented opinion. We have many issues with our national level system of government. We also have many processes that work better than any system ever created. From my view of this, it appears most issues are byproducts of the actual election process. Its to easy to influence candidates. Many government positions are practically entry level positions to various media and corporate opportunities. What if the candidate selection process were suddenly a civil service lottery? All eligible candidates would now be in the shuffle. If chosen , you have no salary, you get a stipend for food and various needs, your bills and debts are frozen for the term served. No campaign promises. No re elections. No multiple terms. Granted, people will find a way to corrupt it, sooner or later. Its what we do. But something has to be done. This systems septic tank is full. Nothing good seems to be coming from it anymore....at least not for voters. A candidate lottery suddenly gives more diversification to the House and Senate. Unbought opinions with no campaign promises to keep. Just honest feelings of a duty to uphold. Bring back the dignity to these offices that long ago lost the respect of the people. All things considered, The United States of America still has the greatest, fairest system out there. Man just always finds a way to manipulate and get around it. Its natural. That's how we survive as a species. That's also why some processes eventually have to change, to reincorporate integrity. I am aware you cant change an institution, and I would like to note that I love this country and its government. Have a good day, and again, thank your for your time --Mark Burkenbine
