MoveOn Calls On Obama To Stiffen Spine On Tax Cuts In National Ad

I think the only solution will be when the people rise up to demand that their elected representa­tives repair the system, either through electing representa­tives who will repair it, or eventually through civil unrest.

You'd better hope it doesn't deevolve into civil unrest, because it's We the People who will lose, BIG TIME.   

The laws that have been put into place since 9/11 (and even in the years leading up to 9/11, that laid the groundwork for post-9/11 laws) are written to address civil unrest.  They're not being used against 'terr0r!st­s'.   Since passage, they've most frequently been used in drug traffickin­g, but they easily adapt to quick pivoting by politician­s wishing to designate any group or situation a threat to the nation's security.

I sometimes wonder where people like you were during the first Gulf War, and if you missed Arthur 'Scud Stud' Kent's reporting from his hotel room balcony in Iraq, as US scud missiles whizzed by him to land within 6 inches of its target.  Or during Ruby Ridge or Waco.  If the US government wants you, the US government doesn't stop until it gets you (except if you're Osama Bin Laden).  We're not spending more than the next 20 largest nations combined for weapons that don't work.
