We can transition from a dirty economy to a clean economy and from a war economy to a peace economy, but the political status quo depends on our not doing that. The status quo will not disrupt itself; that's our job.

How do we build up numbers enough to make that disruption? Every disadvantage is setup against change by the design of our government. Mass media is staunchly on the side of oligarchy. The deck is stacked against both democracy and liberty.

It’s not the design of our government that’s a problem; it’s the perversion of that design that’s the problem. It’s the money in politics that’s the cancer underlying all the other cancers.

It’s the money and no accountability part. Politicians telling lies with no repercussions.

I agree with accountability too. While I believe in free speech and freedom of the press (though who owns the press is a concern), politicians are public servants and should be held to a standard of truth.
