England was too big, corrupt etc. when we threw it out and started our own. I am not advocating any revolution except a revolution of the mind. Learn what you are capable of and then work to make it happen. As was stated elsewhere in a post, grassroots efforts are effective. They can make a difference.It takes a lot of work and a lot of effort to make a change. The American people have done it in the past and can do it now. They just need good people to standup and show the way.
Don't give up. Keep trying. measure your progress an inch at a time.
