13. Maybe raise funds for an on-line government ethics 101.

Or an ongoing series of lessons here free?

We haven't just become shockingly truth-free in politics. Even here on DU we're ignorant as 2 bags of rocks regarding how good government operates -- and why it's done that way.

And Republicans and left-wing dissidents are far worse. They both base their entire belief systems on the lies that government always was corrupt beyond fixing and needs to be destroyed/"reformed," which in the hands of clueless people of any ideology would be much the same.

It's amazing that people can witness two years of constant attempts from the very top to corrupt our government mostly being legally stopped by a system with ethical checks built in everywhere, or at worst carefully documented and set in the DoJ's to-do file, without admiring just how strongly and ethically our systems are designed to work. And do.
