The Two Party System
The US is dominated by two political parties: Republican and Democratic. Some of the problems with a two party system as stated at Wikipedia (The open source encyclopedia project!):

Limited representation for uncommon ideas.
Debate thus often revolves around narrowly perceived policy ideas, rather than larger political issues.
Reform is exceptionally difficult.
The system is more easily corrupted by campaign contributions since there are fewer players to donate to.
In an effort to attract voters, each party will adopt planks of the other party's platform, leading to the appearance in some skeptics' minds of a one-party system. Examples include the American notion of a "Republicrat."
Most electors are forced to engage in tactical voting, voting for candidates that may not be their first choice.

If you would like to debate the good and bad of a two party system please join the discussion in this thread: Is the two party system a damaging and negative force?

If you agree the two party system is bad, then join me in discussing how we can challenge two party politics?

The Wisdom Project Community is Growing!
I would like to welcome several of our most active members.

Qu2r and I have been engaging in several lively discussions. Also Woosta0003 and John Q Republican have made a number of very interesting contributions!

If you read through our discussions you will see a rich variety of perspectives. We continue to explore the proper role of government, taxes, education, health care, the social safety net, fundamental rights, and freedom.

I want to encourage everyone to engage in lively debate, but please remember we all seek the same goal. We all want a better world, a good world, a happy world. We just need to work together to figure out the best way to get there.

The secret to inspiring someone to hear your truth is to listen to theirs. :)

The Search for Happiness, Building a Better World, and the Importance of Technology
These are the three main subjects of interest in the Wisdom Project.
