Nothing is going to disrupt the American political world unless and until people start listening and start marching to the beat of a different drum than the binging blitzkrieg barrage of media overkill that does nearly everything to create clouds of confusion days-in and days-out.
We are all too often left in a hazy daze of overload hitting us all the time from everywhere.
Is there any real nitty-gritty to get down to in all the shifts of public consciousness and public confidence in the basic roots of any democracy enabled by a phrase "We The People" ?
