12. I'd say there's a gaping chasm already showing.

In fact I'd say that until there's a total collapse of the current system, nothing can nor will be fixed. And when we do get the opportunity, we certainly won't rebuild it this way.

This two-party system has been reduced to nothing more than a scam which allows TPTB to play us against each other while they maintain total control. Making all of us democracy-believers easy pickings in this ''pay-to-play'' capitalist government/economy.

There's no such thing as a Capitalist Democracy. Never has been. Never will be. If we keep ignoring this fact then we're doing what Al Einstein referred to as ''insanity.'' Doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result.

- The fact is, there is always a different result. But only slightly different. And always in ''their'' favor.....
