If the various efforts to work through the system fail, and I think they will fail, it seems appropriate to try to work through the system to change the system. But I have watched for over 30 years the system defend itself against all efforts to reform the system. Graham Rudman Hollings and the shutdown under Newt Gingrich and the efforts of Ross Perot to build a reform party are a couple of examples. There are dozens more.

The system is very profitable the way it is. So there is enormously powerful resistance to changes that would reduce those profits. It's a parasite. These are hard to remove.

You have to get up pretty early in the morning to fool Sasha! Repeat after me "COUNTER MEASURE, COUNTER MEASURE, COUNTER MEASURE!'
