8. Revising constitutions could be a permanent solution. Looks good.

Thanks for the interesting link; there seems to be a lot of interesting stuff to digest.

I strongly believe changing constitutions to permanently codify political power for the people is the way to go. Making this happen gives the average dissatisfied citizen a goal to work towards. It seems several active groups both left and right are beginning to see the need for constitutional conventions and are increasing pressure not only for state, but also for a national convention. I look at this as very positive and great news!

As a senior citizen I cannot encourage young people strongly enough to get involved in these changes. My young friends, your future depends on this. Don't take a lackadaisical view of politics as my generation has done! Now is the time for your impact to change how the world society functions. Violence and protests result in little change if anything. Digging in and changing the rules peacefully is the answer. Join the organizations working to make this happen.
