gridlock
gridlock is when control of government is split amongst the parties. like say a democratic president and a republican congress. the government tends to be the most responsible under these conditions. and least when one party controls all. why do we have only two parties? seems to me if there were a plethora of parties one could have a permanent state of gridlock. imagine if we split up the current parties into the rich party, the religious party, the redneck party, the intellectual party, the gay party, and the welfare party. it makes sense that some of these pairs would most often be on opposite sides. like say the rich and the welfare, the redneck and the gay. but other match ups would be compatible. like say the religious and the welfare, the rich and the intellectual. anywho, just thinking.
