Choj; Thanks. I think there are a number of people here as smart as me, a few smarter and a few more quite a bit smarter.

The two years question got answered. Newt Ginrich's 'revolution' was on a two year cycle, and it's the first chance we'd have to win back the senate or the house. I think the house is outside of possability, as they've got two years to do semi legal redistricting ala Texas. The Senate is a real possability, and without control of the Senate, the President has to work a lot harder to get done what he wants.

I don't think widespread riots will help, and I don't honestly think they'll happen, although with some million more in poverty a year, I think it's possible. I suppose if W reacted badly and tried to turn an already thin national guard on the citizens of the country it would be really clear something was drastically wrong, but I'm never a fan of riots or anyt sort of violent resistance. I think if every one who'd been out of a job for more than a year went and lay down on the Washington Mall and didn't eat and refuwed to move, it would say a lot more.

I have to go now. I'll write more later.
