Howdy, ImpBill. Please ping me when y’all start talking about remedy. Not talking about band-aids. Thanks.

The remedy was written in our Declaration of Independence.

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

The only effective weapon we presently have is our vote. It is one of the reasons that I have chosen to end my days of "voting for the lessor of two evils". Unfortunately I don't think enough citizens even know of this clause, much less care to look for ways to "alter or abolish" the shameful state our "two party" system has reached.

So we are back to square one in looking for remedies I surmise.
