Tip for the wise (and the less wise): DO NOT play the drinking game "One shot for each count."

OK, so look, I'm seeing a lot of people who are really, really unhappy with how the current system in the US works.

And you're not wrong. It's bloody awful and has a staggering amount of room for improvement.

The troubling part of this is how many people think that the solution to this is to burn it all to the ground and start over.

Stop and think for a moment about where the power lies right now.

You are deluding yourself if you think that YOU are going to get to define the new system. It is going to be designed and built BY AND FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HOLD THE POWER. And it will have none of the protections that keep them from just doing that right now.

If you succeed in burning the existing system to the ground and starting over, what those people will build to replace it will ALMOST CERTAINLY be SO MUCH WORSE that I don't think you can even really imagine it. The people you are so violently opposed to WOULD JUST LOVE to see you burn it all to the ground.

That way, they get to build THEIR utopia on a clean sheet of paper with nothing to hold them back.

But it won't be YOUR utopia.
