All in all, I wish there was a way we could start over politically in the United States, get some regular folk in office.
Revolution. Sure, it's not necessary
yet, but things won't get any better. I can pretty much guarantee that.
You know what? Even a successful revolution wouldn't solve anything. Even if by some miracle a coup would succeed and restore a 1776-style American government, it'd be a temporary victory. Over time, America would be brought down by the same greed that has infected it today. Greedy politicians and a greedy citizenry have destroyed this country, and they'll destroy it again. Every great civilization has suffered the same fate. It's not a problem with government or politicians, it's a problem with
humanity. There's only one man that's going to fix that, and we aren't it.
The only thing we can do is continue to fight the good fight (overlooking our occasional disagreements) to slow down America's descent. Ultimately, America is doomed and there isn't a thing any of us can do about it. I call it "Pax Americana."
