I am done with all this psycho-babble. Like it or not, systems control our societies – not people. Take voting rights for example. There was not an ounce of logic, reason or intelligence in contradicting the words “We, the people” by agreeing to an amendment that limited the vote to white, male property owners. Nonetheless, the “system” kept that blatantly destructive and loathsome contradiction in our lives. That’s what “systemic” means and that, Mr. Shetterly, is the reason that I think all your talk about identity, human psychology, and class is worthless babble.

Fixing the system is NOT rocket science, so quit pretending that it is. It’s a simple matter of respecting the Constitution’s first three words, by removing the contradictions. Think not? Examine the 1824, 1876, 1888, 2000, and 2016 presidential elections. “We, the people”, did NOT elect those five presidents.

In this century alone, a president that “We, the people” did NOT elect brought us The War on Terror that cost hundreds of thousands of precious lives and minds and wasted trillions of dollars, followed by the December 2007 economic crisis and housing market crash that turned into a global recession. If the man, “We, the people” had elected in 2000 had taken office, “We, the people” would be richer, healthier and far more secure.

16 years later, another un-elected president took office. Today, the nation is on the verge of civil war.

Its time to face the fact that “We, the people” have proven ourselves far wiser, moral leaders than the presidents and leaders this corrupted system has shoved in our faces. Stop playing intellectual and start acting like a citizen.
