20. I wonder if we could get the "Dream Team" together

Maybe that isn't the right metaphor, but it seems to me that if there were a coalition that included Perot, Warren, Nader, Ron Paul and some other notables from all across the political spectrum, that might carry some weight. At a certain point this would achieve critical mass and people like O'Reilly and that ilk would be scrambling to get aboard. If there were a critical mass, they group might be able to force this out into the open, maybe even force a national debate about it.
