I thought that was fascinating. I really did. I don't see what about it would make you hate America. Representative democracy is not perfect; it's a fairly blunt instrument. If the mechanisms of state are balanced between different parties and different estates, then there will be times when one or the other in each, has ascendancy.

All that's happening now is a shifting of that balance. The people speaking strongly are a part of those shifts. But it's still early in that process.

Or have I misunderstood what it was that had caught your attention about that?
