Today the Corporations are officially powerful enough that they'll call the FBI and have a SWAT team sent to arrest you for being "suicidal" if you go against them. It starts here - where does it end?

It ends when 15% of us say "enough" and mean it.

Please explain, when you have time, what you mean by 15%. Is that the percentage of citizens needed to call for a Constitutional Convention? Thanks.

I'm glad you asked. It's supposedly the amount of interest you have to get in something for a tipping point to happen, for critical mass to occur, and for the media to report on it and for it to become a 'societal issue'. Maybe it was as high as 20%.

Anyway the idea is that you don't have to convince a majority of people to change, just a substantial minority. Then the snowball is rolling.

There's some more graceful economist theory for it somewhere, I should have saved it.
