I often think about the parliamentary system because the framers intended very little power to go to the Executive. They didn't envision the average citizen engaging with the federal executive branch in their lives, let alone daily. But now, we interact with them every day of our lives whether we know it or not. I feel like the expansion of the authority of the executive needs to be checked as it has been usurping more and more from the branch of the people, the legislature.

I'd rather just get away from the daily interaction.  I think I would be better suited for the 18th and 19th century.  With today's amenities of course.  I always picture Little House on the Prairie.  You didn't know much of Washington.  And you were pretty much free to do what you like.  Wanna build a house on your land.  Go ahead.  Don't have to ask someone's permission.  Build a barn next?  Hey it's your property.  Hungry?  Go shoot something if you like.  And so on.
