I'm a firm believer in the wisdom of the founding fathers, seen in the Constitution, with 3 equal but separate branches. The further we move from that foundation, the worse our problems get. At its core, the cultural battle we face between conservative and progressive factions, boils down to how far we move from our beginnings.
