Dammit, Jabs...

You're picking the scab off a perfectly good government conspiracy by being a conscientious citizen who wants the truth.

Anyone who is sick of the stupidity and selfishness of government in the wake of tragedy should probably not read those.

Anyone who thinks that the truth needs to be told far and wide definitely should, and share them.

And so it becomes evident that our government has, contrary to the popular belief, no shred of concern for its population. This beggars the question as to what is to be done, which is a long subject in its entirety.

"What is to be done?"

Where have I heard that phrase before...oh yeah. I heard it here (http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1902lenin.html).

Long Live the Revolution!

You see, Lenin was an unhailed genius - he was an idealist that realized that his philosophies and beliefs were actually inconsequential to the success of his revolution; that it is the organization, dedication, and methods that count. This is regardless of whether one is Communist or Capitalist, Fascist or Socialist, Autocratic or a follower of Republics. The fact that he was able to realize this on his own and not fall into the uber-idealist trap is an accolade to the logical facilities of his mind.
The question is simple: Who has the stomach to follow such a principle? The way to victory is fraught with hard decisions, decisions that would inevitably stain a person's hands with blood and stamp their conscience with visions best left alone. Finding a particular group of people who would have the courage of their convictions...*shrug* A difficult proposition, at best.
This is not to say that every dedicated member would need to involve themselves in the necessary unsavory aspects of such a conflict. There is a place for each different kind of talent and while it is true that every Lenin needs an Iron Feliks, not everyone should be.
