Man, I truly appreciate the effort and passion you put out there. That's some beautiful humanity inside you.

The only thing I can say that doesn't insult what you put out is that, as wonderful as it would be for your hopes to come true, I simply don't believe it is possible without tearing down the country built on slavery, oligarchy, and sheer hubris, and starting fresh. The system isn't just broken, it was never whole.

Again, I am so glad to see someone put that much thought into a response to my sheer disgust at the world, and bring hope into the subject. I can't debate the fine points of it without dishonoring the intent there. So I'll just say thank you.
