"...Belonging to a particular order in society gave one a certain security that the new social equality could not offer. I remember thinking 50 years ago that peasants and artisans in traditional society could blame their fate on a higher power, while we twentieth century men and women could only blame ours on ourselves. That makes modern life a terrible burden, and a growing one, now, as we cast aside the policies that the US and other advanced countries adopted in the mid-twentieth century to try to assure a decent life for everyone. The burden has also grown because everyone--women a well as men, all racial and ethnic groups, and people of all sexual orientations--also have total responsibility for their own future--the flip side of our social equality. In my opinion--and Greenfeld does not explore this point--the explosion of tribalism among those groups is in fact a response to the terror of facing the world alone...." DK

WHY LET A CHICKEN SHIT TWO PARTY CAT FIGHT KEEP RUINING YOUR LIFE?
Go with two Consuls instead of a President, one from each party.
Go with a cabinet required to be composed of both parties, not one party.
Go with a Supreme Court of 10 justices, 5 each from each party, not a majority from one party.
Require Congress to evenly divided. There are ways to do this.
If this fails, then go back to a landed hereditary nobility running a Parliament, a crown, and so forth. At least there would then be some connection to the land, here in America.
