Now that we have the public's attention regarding policy/abuse at the CP, maybe it's time to light some matches to the straw man used to justify it? (It's unnecessary to convince the whole population; up to 60% will just be dead weight following whatever happens. Changes are always led by an interested, active minority faction.) The adrenaline high of 9/11 is wearing off. The economy isn't invisibly taken for granted anymore; people are tiring of "world will never be the same" and hungry for "back to normal." The huge expenses of the fascist expansion open a vulnerability that was absent 5-6 years ago. How best to exploit it?
