7. So, you also think EVERY government representative should be replaced?
House, Senate... EVERYONE at the Federal level? State, too? What about my village President? School board? Fuck it, kick out the bastard who's class 10th grade president at Valley View High School, too. huh?

3. Hell, we can't even get "the crumb" of re-importing drugs from Canada. ...
They won't even suggest such an act. The ultra-rich upper 1% OWNS OUR GOVERNMENT. :grr:

What's so damn insulting is that NOW, they don't even try to hide the above fact. They're proud of their corporate cronyism and governmental dynastic families. Rah Rah ... as the Middle Class is TAXED out of existence.

13. Of course they won't.
The current government is beyond redemption. It must go. Completely.

5. Jefferson had a better idea.
"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security"

14. Isn't that pretty much the same as rolling back the Reagan tax cuts?
1952 would probably sound real good to the teabagger contingent though... might work.
