Bravo Peake. And let's see where we came from.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness".

BHN - you keep asking for empirical evidence that we have effected any change in the last six years. Maybe we haven't. But the foundation for change is an environment of turmoil. And that's why I come here; to exchange ideas about how we can effect change. Maybe today is the day that the empirical evidence you're looking for will start happening, maybe it's tomorrow, I don't know. But one things for sure, we have the power and opportunity to be a part of the change.

As for me, I may die trying, but I won't die doing nothing!
