I don't think that most people have an inkling of a) how the legal "profession" has built up a massive apparatus guaranteed to keep themselves at the heart of our totally corrupt System---consciously and by design; or b) how utterly corrupt our legal "profession" is (this is a huge field of people--not just lawyers, but related professors, law schools, the "justice" system, the law industry, trade organizations, etc.)

I agree, it's unlikely. Things would have to get even worse than they already are (!!!)
But starting a revolution against England seemed crazy too.....

But there has always been corruption and to find real corruption go back to the years just after the civil war because those guys could teach you a thing or two about corruption.

None of this is new.

While government is a necessity the bigger it gets the badder it gets.

Just saying.
So instead of religion being the opiate of the masses, now the internet is the opiate of the masses, and of course, opiates are the opiate of the masses.
