Do you think that Americans are?

Better off dealing with the garbage from the government and each political party when in office or would we be better off dealing with the garbage that would take place if their was no government at all?

    The politicians ( lawyers ) have twisted our Constitution and therefore our government way out of whack. There is nothing wrong with our government, it the PEOPLE we elect to run it that's the problem. Both party's are corrupt and we can only change it by voting in a 3rd party.

    When a country loses its government you have what is called anarchy. Anarchy is a vacuum. If you know your science then you know nature abhors a vacuum. This means something will try to fill the vacuum. if there is any organization remaining in the country that is the organization likely to attempt and usually successfully assume control of the country. In most such situation that organization is the military. Therefore, are you better off with the country being run by elected officials or one by unelected ones. I would choose the elected one as you can at least criticize your elected officials. Military officials do not appreciate dissent.
