As my eyes full of negative news, Russian collusion of the election, obstruction of justice for Russian probe, ...., on and on, non-stop, I conclude that it's spending ton of tax pay money to fight from either side. Is it wasteful?
I thought ...
Boy, it's so expansive to freedom and democracy. It's counter intuition: freedom and democracy need to scrutize the power; if not, power gets corruption. Only way to prevent power-derived corruption is to scrutinize the power, which needs the justice - guarantee the justice demands the freedom to speech.
Democracy is stonger when united for common good, but how?
build upon consensus, but how?
build upon free to speak, but how?
Let everyone speak, but how?
It takes a long time to let all to talk !
That's expansive!
Is there any alternative?
Dictatorship?
Do you want to gamble on an hero to save us all? Riskier! It's human nature to be sinful - such hero got corrupted, more damage than none.
Anything in between? Not I know so far.
"This idea was called separation of powers. This philosophy heavily influenced the writing of the United States Constitution, according to which the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of the United States government are kept distinct in order to prevent abuse of power."
"Separation of powers, therefore, refers to the division of responsibilities into distinct branches to limit any one branch from exercising the core functions of another. The intent is to prevent the concentration of power and provide for checks and balances."
"checks and balances? " The English word "checks" is very interesting as "check" is for bank check to pay money while "balance your book" in business is also about money. So?
民主靠法治, 法治靠燒錢！民主是富國的玩藝.

PS: I read this post: " 可以說是遺憾，但也無奈的是，園藝研究不是一本中國的刊，因為我們申請過兩次國家期刊影響力提升計劃項目都未成功，第三年太忙沒有申請，去年竟然連資格都沒有了。雜誌要屬於一個當地出版社，主編和編輯人員要有編輯證書，編輯部至少要三個人，要有中國刊號。我們呢？隸屬於南農大科研院，主編（我自己）沒有證書，編輯部就兩個人（我和編輯尹歡），刊號也申請不到。結果呢？自2014年1月上線到現在，3年半，專業領域所有刊裏排第二，如果計入漏掉的引用，應該是第一，在大植物學領域，也進入JCR一區。這也是一個有意思的故事。我記得2013年第一次申請提升計劃時說，“如果現在能給我們刊號，我們就是中國的兒子，等到明年就是領養的兒子，一直不給，我們就是一個非法生出來的一直流浪在國外的流浪兒”。但是兒仍不嫌母醜，母卻仍不認流浪兒。" http://blog.sciencenet.cn/home.php?mod=space&uid=1140979&do=blog&id=1060902 (((Horticulture Research獲首個影響因子3.6，園藝類期刊中排名第二

I thought, Well,
Rule? Rule you in or rule you out, which one you like? Again, it's dilemma, conundrum - hate speech or love speech, passionate about it? It can go either way, for you or against you - that's justice. Love or hate it - your choice. Lucky you have one - make good use of that choice.
