Read the link on this post to the end.

Then discuss it here.

RE I dare ANYONE to read this... (to the end!) (http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/rnr/1630110321.html - broken link)

There can only be one solution, and we all know what that is.

Scrap the entire system and start over again, the situation is critical now, and it's not going to improve if everyone sits on their hands.

You forgot to mention the oceans of blood, death, pain and suffering that come with "scrapping the system"...

i agree. we should start all over and make a new system, but that's not gonna happen until the vast majority of americans are suffering greatly. even then, many people will continue suffering and extol the current system we have.

The current system is not broken beyond repair. Junking it is a really bad idea.

I don't know how nobody can see how the career politicians we have in office aren't at the root of what's ailing this country.

It's time they are all voted out - and we start with a fresh uncorrupted (AND UNCORRUPTABLE) crew of people to represent us!

We should have let it happen in 2007. It's to late now IMO. We are too far down the wrong path.

Don't you think that you needed to go farther back than 2007? How naive.

I was referring to the start of this current crisis. To really have fixed the system, yes even further back then Clinton.
