It seems I am a bottom up, grass roots kinda guy and you are more the top down type maybe, maybe not.

"Your solution seems to be asking people around you to be decent human beings. That hardly sounds like fixing the system to me..."

Of the people, by the people and for the people begins in the hearts of the people.

As our hearts are hardened and fastened to extremist partisan agendas rather than to principle, we find ourselves becoming more polarized in rhetoric and less attuned to a consciousness of unity and purpose. In other words we just hate each other as a matter of arbitrary lines drawn in the sand.

As we identify, and are able to identify with the superordinate causes that bind us in humanity, we are able to lift ourselves from the bonds of extremist identification and stand shoulder to shoulder as noble human beings, moving forward to the ultimate destiny of mankind.

That hardly sounds like fixing the system to me ... and after you gain enough followers overthrow the system :)

I do not have that kind of leadership temperament even if I were to be so inclined. However, I remain vigilant ...

"--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
