17. There's no question, IMO, that the Dem's are better, however...
I will agree that there are major problems that remain untouched.

Right wing dominance of talk radio disproportionate of their communities and the ever reducing number of large corporate owners of larger media channels. What people think is a product of the input.

The ongoing necessity of politicians needing large amounts of money to run for office, 99% due to the cost of broadcast advertising.

The continued life of the fantastic (as in fantasy) "libertarian" myths of flat/fair taxes, next-to-no government being possible or desirable, "rugged individualism" made this country great, racism no longer existing, regulations are bad for society, trial lawyers are bad, etc etc etc...

The continued threat of the co-mingling of religious institutions and government.

and so on.

The bottom line is that we've got a LOT of work to do - a LOT of minds to change...

FORTUNATELY, we have truth and reality on our side....
