Matt,

Real quick: The US has devolved into a 2-class society- the haves(approx 20%) and the have nots (80%).

Read 'The Myth of Free Trade' and 'The Silent Depression'.

In a democracy of the kind we set-up post WWII (read 'The Great U-Turn'), this could not have happened, except that the Rich have 'Bought the machinery of our political system.' (read 'Wealth And Democracy').

Concurrently, our government has become a 'shadow type' which operates outside of its Constutional limits, and at times (read 'Watergate: How The Good Guys Finally Won' and 'Fooled Again') subverts elections, and thus the will of the people.

Therefore, as in the past (at least twice-not counting the regional conflict called 'The Civil War') , extra-Constitutional means of change are indeed probable to change a system which has become in itself extra-Constutional.

And that's where Harry Reasoner's words/experiences in 1930's Iowa come again into play.

And, of course, I don't expect you to read any of those sources- because you are content with you limited view.

But fopr anyone else truly wanting to know........................
