New An honest response - question.

To be more specific, let's say instead "what do you think needs to be done to improve the United States?" Non-citizens are as welcome to answer this question as citizens, since non-citizens can get steamrolled by the US (or helped by the US) just as much as citizens can.


Well...what do you mean by improve?

I'm serious, it sounds like you have a vision (or are asking for a vision) of what the US ought to be. While I (and others) have a vision of what the US ought to be, our system allows for these differences and has a process for determining which vision (at least for a while) will be standard.

New The reason I ask
is because much of this part of the board tends to "devolve" into people talking about everything that *other* people are doing *wrong*. From this, I can glean some ideas about what people think is right, but nothing particularly concrete. The tone of some posts in this forum leads me to believe that some think the world is going to hell and there's *nothing at all* that can be done about it except point it out.

I want to know what people think needs to be done, and *how* it should be done, as opposed to how people think we're currently doing it *wrong*. I think that would be useful. At the very least, I think it would be useful for me.
