25. Great post, but a word of caution
In the effort to overcome these people, it's important to not become them. Violence won't get us where we want to go. All violence will accomplish is replacing one set of sociopaths with another set.

All governments require the voluntary cooperation of the citizens. Do not give them your cooperation and it will change.

To remove the psychopaths from power all thats needed is the enforcement of existing laws. It is the thwarting of law that has allowed these people into positions of power. And it will be the law that puts these people away, not violence.
