OT - US Presidential Candiates Arrested!

...I dislike Ed is because he is one of those violent we need a revolution nuts not even someone who wants to change things FOR THE BETTER...

You do realize that the entire goal of a revolution is to change things for the better, right? That is exactly what revolution means, to revolt against an oppressive, harmful government and establish a new, better form... With the current corporate-controlled federal US political system, getting anyone into power other than the Demo-Republicrat flavor of the week is virtually impossible. Alternative view points are silenced, as demonstrated by the events leading up the the arrest of Mr. Badnarik and Mr. Nader. Most (US) people aren't even aware that there are other (US) parties than the 2 big evils, and may have just barely heard of Mr. Nader as some ultra-liberal nutcase (which he is, but that is beside the point). Campaign finance reforms, such as eliminating private donations to election campaigns entirely, instead relying on equal funding for all semi-serious candidates, would go a long way to alleviating this problem. However, those in power benefit directly from the f-ed up system currently in place, so will not be very keen to change it on their own. A constitutional amendment would get the will of the people involved, rather than the will of the entrenched elite. However, it has to start with those entrenched elite approving it to be voted on by the people in the first place... The Demo-Republicrats are not going to change the system that benefits them so well. Hence comments about a revolution... While this is not necessarily a very practical solution, it is not just some nutcase wanting to cause chaos and mayhem, as you seem to think it is.
