How do we stop the Senate filibuster abuse? Why are we asking such a silly question, when we should be asking, how do we get rid of the Senate once and for all?
Perhaps if their was a movement to actually disband the Senate, just perhaps their oversized gonads will shrink and they'll start behaving rationally, and if not, fine more fuel for the fire.

Thom, there's a reason the government runs certain "industries".
Responding to your "Winger" guest, we can't have dozens of private mail companies, all with their own trucks, clogging our traffic and covering the same routes to deliver local mail to different customers in the same neighborhood.
Likewise, individuals can "sign up" for service by a private fire department that only puts out the fire on YOUR home and ignores your neighbor, or does both homes and then sends the neighbor a hugely inflated bill for service by a company they never signed up with.
People that think we can "privatize everything" just aren't dealing in reality.

this is a brief 3 minutes. Toxic mimics and the lack of Identification with the whole world.
Please have him on your show. I feel that Thom could have a valuable discussion with him. Our lives depend on a system that is killing us.
Statistics!
More American soldiers are committing suicide in Iraq than who are being killed in combat!!! These soldiers are refusing to kill God's children!!! Is this fact comparable to refusing to fight in order to stop our federal government's murderous ways???
Our government's increased terror threats means our politicians are lusting for more killing of God's children around the world.

Thom now resides in D.C. He must stand vigilant and on guard against being influenced by the D.C. lunatics and slowly become one of them.
