Good luck with that. The problem now is, there will always be the Urbane Guerrilla types that want to go beat up somebody.

1-Normal people, are confused about how much trust to put in leaders who should know what's best. Bush has shown that's not wise.
2-People today are simply too busy with their self centered lives to bother with what the government is doing, until it smacks them upside the head.
3-Even people who take the time to be aware, are becoming increasingly frustrated with trying to communicate with, no less influence, what the politicians are doing.

It's as if the federal Government has taken on a life of it's own. It's that 20-something living in the basement, you support financially and emotionally, but won't listen to reason. That makes you nuts, watching him making mistakes you could have warned him about, if he would only listen.
