Why don't you dismantle the government, throw the lot in jail & make a proper representative democracy (or Dog forbid, a direct democracy)?

So how many people is the Scanlon/Abramoff duo going to bring down? Tom DeLay and Bob Ney are the ones out front right now. Grover Norquist perhaps, even though he's not an elected official. Ralph Reed maybe--at least I hope it hurts his election chances in GA. Who else is in this thing?

Few politicians would be willing to reform the system that led to them being in power, even if it would make it fairer and more accountable.

Hence me encouraging you to dismantle your current political system, instead of waiting for your corrupt career politicians to do it by themselves.
