Amazing interview with an admirable citizen & journalist. He leaves me wondering what can be done, however. I vote Democrats as the lesser of two evils. Should I stop voting? I cannot run for office myself because I am an atheist. Should I stop paying taxes? For me, it would be easy to do. I was left wishing someone would develop and pronounce a plan for the future.
