One of the three is the Judicial ( Courts ) of which the greatest power resides in the Supreme Court. The newest members are conservative and recently they ruled that Corporations can give unlimited amounts of money to one candidate… read, buy elections. You need to be on guard and I hope your constitution prohibits this. A person does not equal a corportaion, but with our elections coming it may be too late in November.

Apparently we have one of the best constitutions in the world but how come it’s not serving the nation…is there murder between the lines of our well-written, nicely formualated policies which from my understanding were created to bridge the gap between binaries, the formerly oppressed and the free? Perhaps this constitution is vanity, the governments way of appeasing the people but not necessarily serving them…

Nice one Patrick

I live in the US, I have more than I need. I am a health care provider. We make some of the problem for others in the world. We are told here that hunger is a problem of dispersing supplies. We pay farmers on the richest land in the world not to grow crops so that prices will be higher. It scares me to see this. We make fuel for our big cars from corn. But again here the rich get richer too and our middle clas, the envy of the world is being destroyed. Pray for us all.
