You should probably read up a bit on the founding fathers. Skip over George Washington. Concentrate on Gouvenour Morris (sp?) and some of his exploits. He wrote the Constitution.
Read some Thomas Payne stuff. He imagined corruption. So did Jefferson. It's up to the people to do something about it.
Like I said in the post, and it is not going to happen. Americans have become too weak-willed. The willing are far outnumbered by those unwilling.
