An open letter to the American nation

Dear... all of you,

You don't need self-determination. Really, you don't. You didn't have to leave, and you didn't have to set up your own government. All that "hold these truths to be self-evident" stuff*, much overrated. And listening to Montesquieu is just silly. To start with, nobody can spell "Montesquieu", and if you hadn't listened to him, then you wouldn't need to, hmmm?

Furthermore, Congress is much too complicated, federalism involves too many access points, and Political Action Committees are a needless addition to the universe as a whole.** In fact, you'd all be much better off with a constitutional monarchy, an uncodified constitution and a political system that differs not the slightest from a representative European democracy.

I say this with love.

With regards,

~Raven
