But that sounds like a vicious circle approach with no results on this end.

We saw Bush take the grass roots and turn it around with Rove's total manipulations, to his favor for the powers that be. They wanted it, he got it!

I conjecture that the opposite can be true if we open our minds to it. The grass roots can take a step towards nullifying the position you present by its sheer attempt and presence.

It today's dynamic politics, it seems that any inducement to slow, moderate change is a virtual tactic to undermine another form of opposition and render it null and void in the end. This has to be dynamic and bold and experimental in every respect.

Are we that far along that, no longer can Mr. Smith go to Washington, so to speak? Are we that entrenched in this system that we can't present an opposition that exists on its own and not only to appease the entrenched system itself? If that is the case, then why bother with the political process at all? It sounds like it is so sown up that anything we might do is merely an anticipated action that can be easily countermanded.
