American Political Fantasies

 During debates about how America shall be run , what life in America should be like , what the Constitution and Bill of Rights meant.... a lot of fantasies are bandied about......


America has a reputation
It is hard to imagine how a sane person could hold that America has a reputation.  Since government policy changes all the time based on the whims of whoever is lately throwing their weight around .... one could hardly describe that as being anything other than a reputation for being inconsistent.  More importantly , the government is not America  .... or if it is ... then who are all those people who actually create stuff, pay taxes , buy and sell stuff without violence , and have 300 million+ different opinions and 300 million+ behaviours ?

Politicians know what American people want
First of all... what is meant by *American People* ?  Citizens ?  Anyone who lives in America ?  Babies ? Felons ? Voters ?  .......   the only honest view is that there are 300 million+ opinions about what America wants.
