why don't we just paint targets on both back and front and stand at the foot of an open grave?

Seriously, though...We have to do what the Tea Party did: start filling up elected offices from dog catcher on up, then the state legislature, then go to DC and clean House and Senate!

It would take maybe a dozen years if the pioneers do their job well and keep doing it. It will take forever if they sell out, or never get started.

But it will be as radical as Cuba, or China, or any other revolution. TPTB will fight tooth and nail. People will die, intentionally murdered, which will be no different than today...but we will make change.

I'd like to believe this will work without torches and pitchforks. It has the novelty of not having been tried before...except by the Tea Party, which seems to be making far too much headway for the safety of the nation. Give the Teahadists something that works to their advantage, and we could merge into a People's Party...
