Do you think the powers that be will ever change the system? They have every 
reason to keep it exactly the way it is. The only change will come from the 
bottom up, and people have to be a lot more scared and hungry before they 
demand that change. Americans, for all their problems, are still too fat and 
content to rock the boat.
