Excellent response! Love it.

So to expand on your take, I would encourage you to consider, before you turn 70, that what you've suggested has been tried before. By me and many others before me. And thus far, it hasn't solved anything. In fact, it has empowered politicians ability to capitalize on the trust of the voter to further their personal gains.

If you've already tried and succeeded, point to where that has happened.

But if you are zealous to push a solution, without considering what has already been tried before you, then you'll have set yourself up for disappointment. And you'll have only yourself to blame as many of us have already experienced before you.

Good luck.
