1. You seem to be confusing a realistic assessment of the problem with a realistic strategy of change

Unless, of course, you don't want the status quo to change - do you?

I think the idea of nonviolent civil disobedience and an occupation of Wall Street is a splendidly rational response to a dysfunctional system that can't reform itself, and perhaps a rude nudge from below may help it to achieve real change. One action at a time. Kinda like the anti-nuclear movement. That strategy worked, when the system didn't.

Are you with us or against us, Modern School?
