So what do we do about this?? There are over 300 different Representatives who represent different parts of the country. I can tell my Representative what I want but he is only 1 person.

That's a good question. The ultimate definition of a failed state is one that is unable or unwilling to use societies resources to meet the basic needs of its people. History proves that if the gap between the haves and the have nots becomes too large, civilization will fail. The U.S. is well on its way to becoming a failed state and even the wealthy don't want that.

The question is what will replace the current system?

What people want is honesty, integrity, fairness, and compassion. Politicians who can't deliver these don't deserve to lead. Our task is to show by example what we want. We can have differences and still be kind.

One of Gandhi's great spiritual insights is that consciousness is energy that behaves according to predictable laws. If you push it in the right way with love and compassion, it has to shift. It can't do anything else. I think that's the key.
