we have a very big boat to turn around. a nation of 330+ million people is no small thing to manage. we've done the whole "political revolution" thing twice, and it cost us nearly half our population each time. we'd rather not do that again , especially if there's a better way. and, of course, there is.

but it's... complicated and it takes time.... but, with these midterm elections, there's an opportunity to make things better, or, at least, shut off the firehose of nightmares.
