Such as periodic elections. Voting the bums out is a whole lot better than wrecking the Union

I have been around long enough to know that is true, that is one reason I am not as excitable as some people about some things.

What we think of as being on the verge of revolution is just a period of political passion and as soon as the movement wins some elections the emotion and the passion (and the unity) dissipate.

Amen. Political remedies for political evils. The Constitution makes no provision for everybody being happy with election results. Obama was the choice of the people so he's our president. The chance to change that comes in the 2012 election. We should thank the Lord that we live in a nation where ballots and not bullets rule.
