I do wonder how this will all shift. And that thought brings us directly back on topic -- "taxation without representation". How will the people truly get their voice & power back?

To my mind, it all starts with first recognizing that they don't have it to begin with. Can't ask for something you don't realize you don't have, heh. So... I guess we're headed for some massive disillusionment, otherwise the problem will never get corrected.
