Reply #5: Dare I say this?

Short of a wide-spread armed revolution (who'd make the bucks on that?) I don't see much hope of significantly and suddenly changing all this. I've long thought that the only reason our system works is because those of us who enjoy our freedoms and generally comfortable lifestyles will get up and go to work in the morning and pay our taxes to assure the things we enjoy continue without major disruption. Revolution isn't in our mindset, when we think we can change things at the ballot box. Sometimes that works, often, as we know, it doesn't work the way we thought it would. War profiteering has gone on for eons. I think we must strive to slow down the corporate control of the government process. The Greens' values are more than worthy of our support. I'm with you, though--let's start with getting Bushco out of power. The journey will begin there.
