@Common. One of the main problems with that great thing about your country is that you have two choices, so when you kick one shitty government out you end up with the other shitty government in. You never get to vote smaller parties into coalition when you lose faith in the big parties, it really balances out far better and makes the big parties less bloated and corrupt. Its disadvantage is you end up with some rather unstable coalitions occasionally.

Politically I believe that Australia does have a far better system (PR is flawed, but nowhere near as flawed as what you have).

But, we do have the structure in place to blow the 2 party system open, and grass roots campaigns can actually make a difference. My hope is that enough Mafoo's out there get sick and tired of th bi-partisan crap that has run this damned country for way too long (both of the big parties suck, no doubt) that they do somthing about it. I can hope right?

Every member of Congress and the President takes an oath to uphold the Constitution, and then every one of the breaks it every day.

There is something written into out form of government designed to take care of what we have today, and that's our duty to overthrow it. As a great believer in what America stands for, it is my obligation to overthrow the US government.

I don't feel like dying however, so I will take the coward's way out, and just go somewhere else.

Being I am not strong enough to take that approach, I have no options left to fix the US. Our for fathers expected this day to come, and they also expected the people of the US to have enough balls to do something about it.

They put more faith in us then they should have, it seems.
