A Once and Future Country
How strange that we Americans refuse to take responsibility for our future. Instead of recognizing our political system for the broken shambles that it is, and trying to fix it, we're waiting, seemingly paralyzed, for some kind of savior or external intervention. Good luck with that! To talk about the shambles I turned to Sanford Levinson who's done yeoman work putting the big picture together. Total runtime fifty one minutes. Join the Revolution!

Very interesting and sobering interview. I think he's right: the chances of a constitutional change are zero. The chances of a color revolution I also think are zero. On the other hand, I think it quite possible that with a little more pressure you'll see some states wanting to split off from the Union —Texas, California, for two. Maybe in about ten years? At any rate, I doubt you'll recognize this country in five years.
