You have read the "Tipping Point", no? Specifically enough people need to be educated about how the system is rigged and what exactly the flaws are. There are far too many people, who like a neglected child of drug abusing parents, are in denial of how much government cares about them. They need to understand that the politicians respond to those who finance their campaigns and not those who vote for them. Without cutting off corporate hands from financing politicians no lasting change will come about. When I talk about educating the masses I am not talking about preaching to the choir. There is not much point in telling me about government corruption. It is people outside your immediate circle who need to know. One of the best ways to get the message across is to write story books that appeal to the general public and contain the message. When enough people begin to see the system as what it is and see the government as the executor of the will of the super-rich, the change will come about. It is as simple as that...or the owners of "main stream" media would not be so careful about what not to air or print.
