Gosh.

Have you ever ridden in a car where no one was in charge and everyone there wanted to go in different directions? But you only had one car (one nation). It was the best car in the world for some strange reason (democracy), so everyone outside the nation wanted to ride in this car too. Everyone in the car wanted to be the driver. But by law (law had not broken down yet) they all had to sit in the back seat and try to drive even though they couldn't see the road or the dashboard or reach the brake and gas pedals (all they had was media info).

For all of past U.S. history, we have accepted the leadership of the elected driver until the next chance to change drivers (vote). Why aren't we doing this now? Has something changed? Is globalization trying to drive this car over the cliff?
