Things will continue to deteriorate despite your best wishes, efforts, sacrifices and whatever. I know you won't appreciate this now because most of us like to believe we know what's going on and what to do about it. But if that was truly the case then things wouldn't be this bad. Our problems have grown vastly in numbers, size and magnitude. Most of us don't want to admit we don't know what the hell to do. Most of us have to admit that all we have done is vote, complain or protest which has gotten us absolutely nowhere while things continue to rapidly deteriorate
My advice to everyone is to start listening to the scientists that have been warning us about these problems for decades. And what did we do through our arrogance and ignorance. We shrugged them off as alarmist when they were trying to save our asses. Well your ass is in a lot of trouble for ignoring warnings about technological unemployment, climate change, global warming, peak oil, economic collapse and on and on an on. We don't listen.
This is not a scare tactic to scare people. This is a warning to save our asses. Because today is nothing compared to what is coming. You don't have to be a genius to figure that out.
My point is this: We have to start listening to the smartest people on the planet not the dumb people. The scientist and engineers are our only hope. We need smart people (Scientist and Engineers) to fix this mess(s). Politicians, lawyers and bankers have failed. They're idiots and we know it. I'm not willing to let them screw up the rest of my life and the lives of my off-springs. I'm for getting the smart guys to fix this mess. They actually think and create real things instead of lies and paper money. Think about it! Use your common sense.
We have to meet the scientist and Engineers half way. It's called the "Nuclear Option". It's our only option. You may not be ready yet but you will see. I hope we don't wait until it's too late.

If you know the world around you is collapsing and you do nothing about it, then who’s really at fault when you stood by and did nothing? We have to stop whining and do something about it. We don’t have to live like this anymore.
Sorry, It’s too late. The politicians can’t fix the problems at this late date. The masses don’t have a clue what to do or how to do it. No one has a viable solutions.
At this point buy guns, lots of ammo, horde food and learn to live off the grid. I’m being a little crazy here. But only a little.
This is a viable solution - the only solution I've found out there. Everyone else is just like you. Flapping there mouths or complaining. The problem is you were too busy or lazy to even read the link. Buying guns and ammo is a good idea. But you still have to come out of your hole sooner or later. And guess what? The problems will be much worse and you'll be out of ammo. Do yourself a favor.

slightly less radical than nuclear - but can you think of ANY problem that would not be on its way to being fixed by:

Remove ALL money from policitics.
It is impossible without a constitutional amendment

Your point is legit.
Congress CAN vote for a "Regulation" to restrict the court from making any campaign finance decisions.
You can find our Article IIl document #6 on our document page http://corporationsarenotpeope.webuda.com
and 64 videos on the amendment on our VIDEOS page
with virtually NO support for the Article III approach in congress,
and amendment support based on
1.9M petition signatures &
over 350 state & local resolutions &
28 Senators &
92 Representatives &
12 amendment bills already IN congress
there is only one real path
between the tortoise & the hare, the tortoise cannot win if the tortoise is dead

I cannot answer the "why" on no Article III bill
No other legislative solution can overrule SCOTUS
Also, an Article III bill cannot override the key decisions-
it can only restrict FUTURE SCOTUS actions.
Not that an amendment is fast, but if it was done, it would "erase"
CU & Buckley, restore McCain Feingold
but 92 reps & 28 senators are supporting amendments today
our #6 document is a word 2000 document - [ 15,000 characters ] if you dont have word, and you download it, you can read it ( rough formatting ) with wordpad

It is, but lets not settle for suggesting that reversing CU will be enough.
This system was corrupted and bought out long before CU came around
of course it is not enough- but it is a first step - and 75%-85% of Americans already favor it.
Settling for crumbs is for idiots. Stop settling for minor victories and start demanding the whole thing is fixed.
Oh wouldn't that be nice...just fix it all at once. Can't do it that way, but it'd still be nice...
Imagine the country is a house, your house. The roof leaks, it needs insulation, but the real problem lies below that...the foundation is crumbling. Can't fix it all at once, that foundation is a priority. Without that foundation the whole thing collapses.
So we do the sensible thing, we prioritize, fix what is the most important. First the foundation, but we don't follow that with the insulation, we fix the roof second...
Our political system is crumbling, the simple fact that there are those who believe America and along with it, Americans can be bought means fixing that system first.
Like when repairing a crumbling foundation, we have to work at all the parts, figure out why it's crumbling fix that part, then start building up the parts that have failed, we can put in improvements along the way.
Repairs and change don't get made without getting dirty, and they don't get made by standing outside and yelling at the top of our lungs, look at that falling apart.
We have to work both inside and outside to affect change, to make improvements. Don't like the 'crew bosses'? Then work to get them changed.
It's time to grow up and get to damned work.
Vote. That's the inside, promote like minded people to run for office, even if it's only dog catcher and vote again.
Every one on these forums and millions of others can hire and fire 'crew bosses' but not if you don't step up and participate.
