we must have people at the top who want the same thing. I vote for Democracy, I donate, I write, I read, I try to persuade, but other than that I have no control over people like Bragg, Willis, and Garland, the shakers and movers. They either do their Gd jobs to maintain Democracy, or be responsible for losing it. I'm not going to set myself on fire.
