All true, but when the elected and the elected
declare a constraint (like alcohol banned), guess
what happens?    (01)

That is what is great about America, at least so
far...     (02)

That is certainly true.    (07)

But the people who make laws -- citizens, voters,
and the people they
elect -- must consider the long-term implications:
ethics, justice,
the pursuit of happiness, the common good, a more
perfect union,
opportunity for everybody, a balance between
exploiting available
and preserving the environment for future
generations...    (08)

America is extremely lucky in having an excellent
selection of
educated, ethical people with long-term vision at
exactly the
right moment in history.  But they weren't
perfect, they fought
a lot, and they came up with a system that
emphasized compromise
between different points of view.    (09)
