We'll keep doing battle though right?

Are you asking if we'll keep tilting at windmills? I'm sure we will.

Somehow everything gets messier and muddier as time passes, it seems. Eventually it will get so complex things will start to break. Then there will be progress.

You'll get us defeated with an attitude like that. Get out of my fox hole!

Follow-up: In my disagreement with you (you opinion that a revolution is the only really viable option), I mentioned that one of the other potential phases of American history, if government taxing and spending aren't changed, is Depression and/or government bankruptcy.

It seems to me that this may be what you are hinting at in your post. I think I may be in agreement with you on this aspect of your thesis. A deep and very painful depression would probably cure a lot of our problems, much as a large enema often helps a human body begin to function properly after a period of improper operation.
