Of mice, and men with the mentality of gangsters

I'd probably have went senile by then so the mind might change. Sorry I couldn't live with myself if I was a big drain on my family and society. We just simply live too long that's all.

Well in those parameters I am with you. I have no desire to be a drooling fool , unless it is directed at my cute nurses.

But my family knows that should extraordinary measures need be taken, dont bother. I am in life with virtually full capacities or I am out of here.

You are both obvioulsy very young fellows. So in 20 years or so when you have started to mature, most likely a brain chip implant will be available for you to surf the web unhindered and interact with the world even when your body is in a vegetative state. With a sound mind you might enjoy life for 10, 20 or 30 years after you body is useless.

Life is experienced through the brain and not through your body and anyone may tell you at 70 that they feel the same as 20 year olds in their head but their bodies are what is worn out.

At that point if you happen to have worked for the government and retired with a huge pension you may plug yourself into the ultimate PC and enjoy years of life beyond the time you imagine now.

MENTALITY of GANGSTERS

Power does corrupt.

[leonardcohen]

Canada's politics are a joke. We have no democractic government here. It is all a sham. Politicians have no power over anything. They simply struggle to keep their job that they must fight for every four years and are easily taken out if the non-elected officials put their mind to them.

Complaints are a dime a dozen-

What solution do you propose to

rectify this situation?

I'd be interested to hear if you

have any ideas.

Certainly and thanks for asking.

Politicians are very easy to dismiss from public office. They can at most last 4 years or so before voted out if their are bad or abuse their powers.

The FIRST RULE of ORDER is to give the elected absolute power and authority (since they are the easiest to control come election time) with authority to dismiss non-elected officials (Including Judges) at whim without need of explanation AND let them have the power to remove from them ALSO all manner of benefits, extra pensions, or severance entittlement, in fact give the elected power to CLAW BACK even to personal backruptcy anything gained by non-elected public official (durring their public employment from whatever sources)... That is officials above the rank of union or otherwise government workers ALL WITHOUT having to justify why they do so when they do when it concerns upper management in the civil services.

After all its only money. They can start a new in the private sector once disbarred from holding another government job at any level. The government has no respect for the money of private ssector citizens and it should therefore properly have much less respect for the money accumulated by individuals from working in public sector administration doing nothing of value and that become suspect of pilfering and betrayal of the public trust.

Let the public judge the politicians conduct in such situation and those that might abuse this absolute power shall be themselves judged and removed in the next election. They are only in for a short time and NOT FOR LIFE like non-elected officials are.

Absolute power needs to be placed solely and exclusively in the hands of ELECTED OFFICIALS. Non-elected officials must never have POWER or even influence at all over ANY Elected Officials.

This is one simple fix to our system that will fix just about everything.
