It's not that I don't CARE and will just give up. I just don't think we can do anything through the political system as it's set up now. It's going to have to get bad enough for everybody (or at least a vast majority) just to quit supporting it. Then we're going to have to bring the military EMs and NCOs over to our side because when we stop co-operating with the system, that's when they sic the dogs on us. Politics as it's constituted now isn't going to help us.
