69. What can be done?
Well, if Einstein is correct... nothing.

But sometimes calling them as you see' em can awaken folks into paying attention. Like a football coach who screams at his players as a way to motivate them, calling them by an accurate name may be of some help.

Just getting more folks to question authority would go along way. Of course, the pukes want to make it dangerous to do so, eh?

Getting people to realize that the government does play a crucial role in their lives, and that that role is presently being subverted to evil ends, is the crucial point to make.

I know kevin thinks I am so smart and all that,<g> but truth be told, I am not. I don't have the answer that will lead to a stronger, more vibrant democracy. I am hoping someone here can come up with a solution. But I do know that we, as a country, are fucked, if we don't.

The un-involved masses are key to our survival. And no, they are not reading DU so it doesn't matter what I call them.

Got to run. C'ya
