        C’mon Chives, don’t be coy. You know which direction.

        They turn, for Just Us (this phrase is not uttered by or for you and me FYI)

      I’m happy you have faith left in the system. Someone has to believe the system and unknown and mostly unelected and unaccountable beurocrats are coming to save us and not holding just enough people accountable to placate the masses. If not for this beautiful optimism, who or what would hold us back from taking both individual and collective action in replacing, reforming or ignoring said sytem after all?

      Also, may I recommend that anyone with their senses left intact stop using or trusting Wikipedia a decade or so ago?

        I agree reform sounds great! I agree many systems can be improved. Lots of government officials could do with some more accountability.

        I personally still love wikipedia for this kind of high level analysis, but you are welcome to use whatever sources you like!

          Thanks, friend. I think we agree more than we disagree on the need for change. But I feelbwe do disagree quite a bit on what the best use of time and energy to be effective in achieving that change is. Keep trying your best to get accountability in whatever way seems most likely to succeed for you personally.and of course use whichever sources you prefer, but be very skeptical of them all. I’ll direct my energy toward the same goals but with vastly different methods.

          Anyway, best luck. Onward and upward!
