BINGO!!! We have a winner, ladies and gentlemen!!!
First prize in the Pyro Essay Contest is won by pgrmdave.
The Constitution set up three (actually four when you count Senate & House as separate--which they are) competing bureacracies, to allow all the bitterly contending factions to hammer away at each other -- and leave the rest of us the hell alone! The purpose of a well running government is to slow down legislation, executive orders, and judicial judgements, and provide a safe "forum" for anger, hatred, vengeance, blame, acrimony, and other inevitable forms of human stupidity to burn themselves out--without setting OUR homes on fire!
Congratulations, Dave!!!
