Quote from ByLoSellHi:
Did you ever hear about the profound concept of 3 separate, but equal, branches of government?
Or checks and balances?
Sheesh...
Checks and balances: (Wikipedia) Separation of powers, a term coined by French political Enlightenment thinker Baron de Montesquieu, is a model for the governance of democratic states.
Under this model the state is divided into branches, and each branch of the state has separate and independent powers and areas of responsibility. But this is only half the story, as each branch is also able to place specified restraints on the powers exerted by the other branches. The normal division of branches is into the executive (or government), the legislative, and the judicial. The US system refers to the branches as "branches of government", while some systems use "government" to describe the executive.
Proponents of separation of powers believe that it protects democracy and forestalls tyranny; opponents of separation of powers point out that, regardless of whether it accomplishes this end, that it also slows down the process of governing, and/or promotes executive dictatorship and unaccountability, and the marginalization of the legislature.
No democratic system exists with an absolute separation of powers or an absolute lack of separation of powers. Nonetheless some systems are clearly founded on the principle of separation of powers while others are clearly based on a mingling of powers.
To sum this up.. Checks and balances in real life would be to have all 3 types of women, a redhead (Lindsay Lohan) a blonde (Pam Anderson), and a Brunette (Jessica Alba) all naked in my bed at night begging for my manliness to caress their "lovely lady lumps" so there's no discrimination to be had amongst the ladies. AFter all, there's plenty of me to go around..

However, due to the facts of life, I should be content with at least one of these ladies in such a manner. Should this event ever occur my "little people," them patriotic bastards, would be delighted to stick BEHIND the nation and support its acquisition of ASSets....
