Fixing Government?

Here’s a truth which seems to be agonizingly painful for a lot of people: You can’t “fix” government by electing principled people.

That’s like arguing that you can make child molestation “better” by only having principled molesters.

If the person has principles that are worth anything, they won’t commit the act at all.

If they will commit the act, then how are things “better”?
