Bending is better than breaking.

America's difficulties mostly stem from its structural rigidity. Bad things accrue. It's not easy to fix them. Especially with a constitution which makes peaceful evolution difficult.

The US was unable to resolve its slavery question without a war, due to protections enshrined in its constitution, as interpreted by its right-wing Supreme Court.

New Zealand changed its gun laws a few weeks after a gun massacre.

Question: which system looks more capable of avoiding future violence? The one that is inflexible. Or the one that isn't?
