Subject: RE: BS: Have you seen Obama's energy speech!
Amos, that statement was mine.

No one person or political party brings about the collapse of a political system from systemic, widespread corruption, or finally gets it reformed. When those things happen, there are millions of fingerprints on them.

How does one reform the corrupt system currently in place?

I don't have an answer to that one. But I am becoming more and more convinced by friends and colleagues that refusing to participate in the corrupt system may well hasten it's demise.

While painful, difficult, and dangerous, that may well be what needs to happen to heal the environment, and put the crooks out of business for awhile.

In the big scheme of world history, this year's election isn't nearly as important as some are making it out to be (like the media and election industries that make obscene profits from the year round, 24/7 two party campaign industry).
