I WANT the government to shut-down. I WANT us all to get fed up and DO something about it. If they can't do the job, WE need to remove them, and replace them with better people.

Won't work I'm afraid. Human beings are incapable of running countries any way other than the way they currently do. That's the reason revolutions just go round in fucking circles - idealism is dissolved by the trappings of power. Every. Fucking. Time.

I know, just thinking that it might be time for a new revolution, but I fear things will have to get  much worse before that happens here.

Oh yes. Infinitely worse.
