"our democracy is broken". That is a common sentiment but what does it mean really? What would you do to fix it? I view the problem in a different way: Humans are inherently flawed but also capable of great things including compassion and generosity. Any attempt to organize a government will face the human pitfalls of greed, corruption, and resentment. The founders understood this and established a Constitution identifying basic principles and built in checks and balances. Where did we go wrong? Or did we?
