[MD] Gun smoke in the shape of a fake letter and not a mushroom cloud

...My fear is that if we wrongly identify the problem (and the solution as hope in one individual to save the world ... not without its own risks) any progress is fragile and temporary.

As usual, you've created ambiguity where none is needed. Its pretty obvious who "they" are. Their names are in the papers, in book titles and on subpoenas. You should change your name to muddy waters. (We'll say your drivel is the water and your confusions are the dirt. Together, they add up to muddy waters.) How could you possibly construe what I said as "hope in one individual to save the world", for example? I'd said, "there needs to be a large public ritual, a concrete demonstration of disapproval for the sake of posterity" and "if this party retains control of the government, I think democracy will die here" and "I want to believe that most Americans are just as horrified as I am, that everybody sees how awful the GOP has become". Obviously, I'm talking about my hope in tens of millions of individuals, some of whom haven't been born yet. And I emphasized the parties, in fact, because the all agencies of government have been stacked with "these people". That means replacing many thousands of individuals, if not millions, to actually operate the government in a democratic fashion. 

My fear is that you'll keeping posting nonsense and other pointless distractions.
