Generally, these days, the LESS that gets done, the better.

The point is that in a parliamentary system, it is those in power steamrolling any opposition. No deliberation or debate, they just do it. The reason the filibuster was an important tool is that is forced those in power to slow down.

Yea, agreed. Tongue in cheek. Gridlock is a-okay with me so long as it's not on the interstate. Especially the way things stand today. Divided Gov't a few short years ago could have spared this country a world of hurt about to shitplode all over the place.
