Well, Old Dave, I agree with your analysis once more....and note that you arrive at the remedy of "persistent nonviolent resistance" via a slightly different route than the one I have taken.

Well, Old Dave, I agree with your analysis once more....and note that you arrive at the remedy of "persistent nonviolent resistance" via a slightly different route than the one I have taken.

No. Encircle both Congress and the White House with a very persistent, non-stop, nonviolent march around both "Houses of Government" until the will of the voters is accurately conveyed to the Electoral College count. If we work hard enough between now...and then...we may (with the boost of the new Millennials voting en mass) have a large enough progressive majority to pass laws to change the course that our country has been on for at least 4 decades--the "extortion, bribery, & propaganda".....yeh?
Glen, I was thinking of a more inclusive and strategic application of 4/5 of our 1st Amendment freedoms and rights (plus leveraging our unenumerated right to vote) to collaborate with our elected leaders and advise them how to meet their constitutional purpose. As far as the other 1/5 of our 1st Amendment freedoms and rights, the oligarchs have been leveraging the powers of religion for a long time to make our poorly educated toe the line, and I don’t expect that will change any time soon.
