That is the great challenge with American democracy. It is probably 
the best system for us in the US, but the sheer power of our economy 
and government in a materialistic society (which I see nothing wrong 
with intrinsically) makes it difficult to manage. Its greatest 
strength, that of being a flexible indication of the nation's 
consciousness, is also its greatest weakness, because it means the 
country can be quickly exploited and controlled by those in power, 
with few true checks and balances.
