Dr. Savage-

Our government needs an enema.

The circles upon circles of insider dealings and influences bought and sold are utterly apparent. Politicians say what they’ve got to say, not what they really think. We’re being led by a great big bunch of inhuman automatons. Not that they’re not actually human beings…but that their way of being has become dictated by their past political actions. Defense of partisan positions is what’s most important under our modern political paradigm…and it’s got to stop. Our government needs an enema.

The Internet has provided us with an explicit means of sharing real-time information. The past, current and future actions and utterances of every person in our society are just a touch of the button away from “common knowledge” – if only the eye of “the media” is turned their way. This ability to focus, gather and disseminate information about people is of course manifesting itself to absurd extremes in all of the partisan attacks that seem to have become the norm in American politics. In other words, skeletons in closets don’t stay hidden for long anymore…especially if the right forces are interested in exposing them.

I’ve always believed that any person who can position themselves for a viable run at the Presidency has probably done many things during their ascendancy that should automatically prohibit them from becoming President. And frankly, the same holds true for members of Congress. Our system of leadership has very little to do with leading…and everything to do with satisfying partisan requirements set out by political handlers and speechwriters. Would you deny this?

So what I propose is a top-down cleansing. Every person in every position, from the President and his cabinet…to members of the United States Congress…all the way down to state level Senators and Representatives, should be replaced by a normal, everyday citizen of the United States of America. An enema, I say.

I propose a series of local gatherings where members of the community known for their wisdom, impartiality and LACK OF PARTISANSHIP are selected. Once local selections are vetted – state level gathering will determine which nominees should proceed to the national level. And then from that national group, our new leaders would be chosen…which position they’re given would be selected at random. I propose smart, wise, non-partisan men and women, chosen at the local level for their ability to be non-partisan – who NEVER SOUGHT TO LEAD – as our new members of government. Our system of government isn’t broken – but the people who inhabit it are…woven lies, promises and manipulations have bound them all tightly into one big useless ball…and it’s got to stop.

And here’s where the Internet and television comes in. Getting to know nominees would be easy…we’ve seen what our “media” is capable of when it really wants to shine light on a story. So a constitutional amendment…called the Enema Act…get them ALL out of there, I say.

Thanks!
