It seems to me, and this has been a problem for at least 100 years of this nation's history, that politics and the resultant infighting and societal destruction has for far too long had too dominant a place in charting the nation's agenda. Nothing can get done, efficiency is out the window, and the people's business is being subverted by one branch or another simply because they think they can. It's never been more obvious than now, and the whole system is rendered ineffective as a result.
In a perfect world, government would be perfectly inert, that is, non partisan. Laws would be written to reflect the need of society in a given matter, and they would be extensively researched so that they could be written as accurately as possible and enforced equally and firmly. No law would be enforced differently for one side than another, no given people group would receive favorable treatment, or excluded based on any factors. The law and it's function needs to be colorblind and enforced as such.Laws couldn't be imposed on anybody as a means of controlling them or restricting them unequally, or as a means to reward the few at the expense of the many. Seems to me that the opening pages of the Bill of Rights contains the phrase" with the consent of the governed". The United States Constitution was drafted to provide a means to control the government, not the citizens. The role of government should be to back up or authorize the people in their business, earning a living, civic responsibility, and raising a family. One's religion should not hamper their standing as a citizen, although a few religious pursuits do that to their own members, although nobody has to stay in a body that doesn't help them develop to their best potential.
The news media would have no political bias. It would simply report the facts without a slant or a bias. News would exist to inform on current events, not to slant or shape public opinion. Seems that the sale of a sensational story is more of a priority than the accurate representation of the facts. A non political news system would go far to correct this.
Education would present nothing but factual information, straight down the middle. No attempt to influence opinions or impart bias in any curriculum would occur. The subject of math is a good example of pragmatism. 2+2 always equals 4. If an entity says that 2+2+3, or 5, it could be openly identified as being wrong, regardless of how passionately they think they are right. Of course, those who think 2+2=5 must have gone to a democrat controlled school system. History is a subject so bent by bias that finding an accurate source of history is quite difficult. That would be quite an assignment to take the subject of history and remove the fiction from the facts.
The workplace is a place where politics doesn't belong as well. Promotion and hiring should be based on job skills and the likelihood that a potential hire could be counted on to do his or her job without some bias that has nothing to do with the job. Weren't you hired to do a job and be paid for it rather than argue about matters not applicable to the job at hand?
Unions should be straight down the middle non partisan. That flies in the face of what they are all about. Pay,benefits, employee relations, working conditions and future raises and negotiable items pertinent to the actual job would be the reason for their existence. Union leaders wouldn't be going up to the state capital to hobnob with the elitists there at worker's dues expense. No portion of any union dues would be spent on any political activity. Leave political activity out of the workplace. Employment should be based on job skills and knowledge rather than political affiliations. Your boss should only be concerned with your skills and application to duty, not your beliefs.
There's so much more to this than we have time for right now, but let's think how nice an unbiased system of society would be rather than the convoluted divided mess we have now. Any further comments?
