Oh, I think we figured that out a while ago. (Actually, it's not a two-party 
system. It just devolved into that. There's nothing in the original 
constitution about political parties at all, and it was one of the early 
amendments that said the president and vice president had to come from the 
same party.)

In any case, the real problem (as in any government) is when you realize 
it's broken, it's the people already in power who have to make the change. 
If you don't get it right to start with, it stays broken in any way that 
benefits the continuance of the power of people in power.
