This isn't rocket science folks. We've got history and lots of varied experiences to learn and draw from,
to decide anew what kind of government we really WANT, and if we're very lucky and creative, we'll do
this in a way that is bloodless and truly democratic, where "one person, one vote" rules, not big corporations
from behind their damn Curtain.
