Years of watching the oligarchy (politicians and their contributors) corrupt due process without responsibility or accountability has led me to hope for a new start. If the new start is pissed-off arabs flying airplanes into those who created the mess, then I'm for it. Its clear we are not going to get it with other means.
Currently, I agree that the landscape makes fixing-things-from-the-inside extremely difficult. Several groups with brain power (i.e. Root Strikers) have not accomplished much at a national level. However, I'm highly encouraged by the fact that the younger crowd (those making up the majority of voters in the future), are open to technological fixes to problems. Many may share your disillusionment, however, and that in itself could lead to positive change.
Don't be hesitant of starting over. Creationist should appreciate the biblical theme - nearly all ancient societies talk about the great flood. Chrisitianity turned it into Noah and the Ark. It should appeal to Evolutionist too. The fall of the dinosaurs led to the rise of the mamals. Starting over at times is righteous and natural.
Starting over, without fixing the processes that got us here is just going to lead to the same result. Rapid incremental change (to legal code) is what's going to make the difference, but that's going to require a change in how representational government works - as in cutting the representatives out. By the way, I watched a lot of House of Cards over the weekend. Entertaining stuff. However, if it has any resemblance to reality, we're in big trouble. -- Dan White _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
