I see a couple of MAJOR problems with our system of governance related to
LO:
The cycle of reelection which is pretty short term along with a population
which really doesn't understand how we got into the various messes we are
in encourages politicians to do something to make the folks who reelected
them feel like we are DOING SOMETHING. As most of us would agree, cause
and effect are not closely related in time and space (Senge, 5th Disc.
p.63) If I am a politician, I want to get credit (votes) for the risks I
am willing to take while in office.
On a semi-related note, I am currently engrossed in the novel Ishmael by
Daniel Quinn which helps explain a lot of how we got into the mess we are
in via "Mother Culture"
