Sorry, Terry, I don't agree with you.  The only way for change to
legitimately occur is through people voting.  Until we remove the
politicians who are not voting for the common interest and good,
things will not change.  Until we, as citizens invoke our right to
have "government of the people, by the people, and for the people" by
VOTING these jokers OUT, change may be nearly impossible.  BUT, if all
citizens begin to make educated decisions and vote accordingly, there
is a great deal of hope.

Even you acknowledge the possibility of making changes, merely by
saying "it is hard,"  but you are absolutely right.  The root of the
problem is "the greed for power and money."

We are taking the first step right now by being able to discuss our
differences in a civilized manner.  More of that, and we might
actually get somewhere!

Again, thanks for listening to my soapbox.
