Without a doubt, our founding fathers did an amazing job of putting into place, a constitutional structure for a democratic form of government that would not only endure the passage of time, but would also provide us with mechanisms which would allow for our growth. And while admittedly, we have grown tremendously . . . . perhaps we ought to be asking . . . . just exactly in what direction have we grown ?
In 1835, Alexis De Tocqueville, in his classic work, "Democracy in America", posed some interesting questions about the sources from which we draw upon to fill our positions of leadership.
Perhaps one of the things that we ought to be addressing today, is the absolute and critical separation that needs to be maintained between our democratic political processes and our capitalist economic processes. Otherwise, don't we run the risk of contaminating those very electoral processes, which in turn would run the risk of depriving ourselves of the essential leadership and direction that we not only expect, but have every right to demand, from our government and it's elected officials ?
