All we can do is reduce the amount of money and power we allow them to have, knowing that the use of a considerable amount of *whatever* they have is going to be stupid beyond belief.

I know! We'll write a constitution in which we clearly defines the limited responsibilities and powers of the Federal government. We can include a 'Bill Of rights' that protects the rights of the States and people.

No! Wait! That was already done! The immoral corrupt politicians elected by the people ignore the Constitution. What do we do now??

"What country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that the people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." - - - Thomas Jefferson
