American politicians are the worst in the world. They don't miss by a little, they shoot in the opposite direction. Remarkably, our founders did a great job. If our politicians would simply follow the Constitution, things would be alright.

Look at the legal system... prisons are over-flowing. Our politicians have allowed morality (a.k.a. religion) to sneak into government (which is un-Constitutional). Now, our nation turns non-criminals into criminals and criminals into arch-criminals. Cruel and unusual punishment is illegal by way of the 8th amendment. When you touch that hot stove, if it's only a little too hot, it's no big deal.. lesson learned. If it's way too hot, you will make damn sure you never get burned again. That's what they do, they imprison pot-smokers and 'underage' drinkers (as if maturity comes with a set-age). These people are not in any way criminal, yet the inflicted punishments turn them into criminals. It sure as shit won't stop them from smoking pot again, or drinking... all it will do is make them better criminals.

This is the horrible stupidity of our politicians. They illegally disobey the Constitution, which even without evolution (and all the other knowledge we've gained over the course of 230 years), does a better job than them. Some of the Constitution may need re-writing. Cruel and unusual punishment does include the word punishment. There is no true punishment. Pain is part of evolution, not part of morality. When you inflict pain, the creature does not accept wrong-doing, it evolves so there will be no further pain.

You have to wonder what is wrong with our politicians. How could they be so stupid? They are so self-assured of their own devices. Maybe i'll leave that one to the psychologists. To evolve, we should eliminate our idiotic politicians, remove their horrific legislations, and enact further legislation to ensure no future moronic politicians can possibly obtain government office.
