There's another reason for working inside the system.
Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people
fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by
a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward
change among the mass of our people. They must feel so
frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the
prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the
past and change the future. This acceptance is the
reformation essential to any revolution.

Yeah, well, Chester A. Riley used to say this: “What a revolting development this is!”
Evidently, the current Democrat members of Congress big and little, wanted desperately for the housing market to collapse and bring the evil “Wall Street” with it - actually fought the Republicans about fixing it two or more years ago - because they really WANTED things to get so desperate that the masses would coronate Nancy Pelosi and Hussein Obama, or so it would appear. - I pray things will backfire so badly on this corrupt bunch that the backfire can be heard all the way up north, to Alaska.
