What people don't get about 'Anglo-American' democracy is that the various political governmental bodies ARE NOT the governing mechanism of society
If you're not president of some local board or organization, then YOU are the problem. America is a nation of presidents. Until we each do that, the country will always be missing something. Outside observers clearly noted this early on in this country's history. People completely misplace their trust today depending on the government.
