The Law of Unintended Consequences

[Valles]

---

Don't run as a Democrat or a Republican. Run as an independant. A lot of your political systems current problems can be directly linked to your strange two party system. Organize a third party. Start now. Go to college campuses and speak, eloquently, about how you can form a third "middle ground" party. A party not beholden to extremists on either side. Start with your friends, convince them to help you get on city council. Then start expanding your network.

It's been tried. Without serious alterations in the election laws of the United States, any would-be third party is required to essentially catapult itself to parity on the first try, and further must spend absurd amounts of money to even get that far.
That safety valve is firmly tied down, and the Powers That Be - lesser evil and greater, whichever may be which to you - have no intention of letting it be released.
Time will tell whether it's that valve that gives first, or one of the others... or the boiler itself. Either way, though, there's plenty of coal in the firebox.
Ja, -n
