No, it’s designed to make folks WAKE UP. If you think we are ever going to move in a positive direction by ignoring the problems, that’s not ever going to happen.

If you accept that what I say is true then it makes little sense to acknowledge a truth and then pretend it doesn’t exist so that everyone can just carry on repeating the same insanity and then crying their eyes out when they learn actions have consequences.

Is there a solution in there? Let's say we're aware of the problem, but our options aren't what we would hope for - do we just concede another round? What do you think would be useful towards getting on the right track. Something that we the people/voters can do because we can't count on the establishment to change all on its own.

I've suggested that we invest time and money to support the best candidates we can find - even "meddling" in other State elections for Senate/Congress with more time and money. I believe we can start to change things a candidate at a time, but only if we can actually pull together by devising individual battle plans and uniting to make it happen.

It will take positive leadership and active followership vs. just pointing out every ill at every chance. Does a person in the ghetto get out by waking up every day and enumerating everything that sucks about the situation or would he get out faster if he were to have a plan to get some education and put up a concerted effort to do positive things instead of wallowing in the muck?

I'm aware of how bad things are, and how they got there. If I were to wake up every morning and rehash the list, I wouldn't find much to live or hope for. I choose to look for possibilities. Else, i become a part of the problem and it has over a 100 million parts already.

Al;ways happy to hear someone else's idea of what might work.
