Pat,

I would love to believe we could go back to strict Constitutional government, but it's not going to happen. Hell, it only lasted a couple years when we originally tried it. While I agree with SOME of the outgrowths of government I wish they would have occurred within the system (amendments rather than bu11****).

But the bottom line is that we have what we have now and we're not going back to our proper system(until another civil war or worse). And even then it will only last a couple years again.

You can fight to slow down the carnage with reasoned compromise or eliminate yourself from the game as you've done. It all boils down to this: Would you rather be right or make things better?

EDIT: I would like to add that I don't disagree with anything you've posted as far as its technical correctness.
