There would be no need for Occupy.

GWBush would not be even mentioned in the history books, and Iraq would not be a crumbled mess. Gas would be $2 a gallon because we would be using alternatives and, well, the Daily show and Colbert would have had to find different material.

For now we are relegated to getting a constitutional amendment passed and go from there.
Can we do it, or what? What does du think? can we do this?
