29. Thanks everyone.
That was a lot of fun. I've done a lot of interviews in the past two years and this was probably the best because it was one-on-one for a whole hour. All the callers were supportive too.

I think I got to say just about everything I could have wanted, expect maybe explaining a bit more about why our elections manager should resign. If I had taken that further it would have made the case for many people to resign, which of course they won't, but the value is in the thinking We The People should entertain.

Read "The First American Revolution" by Ray Raphael. He illustrates that the revolution really took place in the years leading up to 1776 and came in the form of colonists forcing courts to close and judges to resign on the grounds that the People would no longer submit to being judged by the King's law. They only let courts stay open and judges keep serving if they worked off the locally written charters. This is a hugely important premise. It is the Consent of the Governed in action. Anybody who denies the problems with our current elections conditions should be run out of town on a rail.

Special thanks to Land Shark for getting on the air and we have lovely parting gifts for JimDandy who was still on hold when the show ended. At least we got to say hello off the air :hi:
