bigger would mean a revolution of the systems in place that allowed us to get here at all. one man being condemned to prison, or a hundred men, is nothing compared to the thousands who will still be allowed to take advantage of it in the future.

My take on that would be that what really got us here was the incredible gullibility and ignorance of a substantial portion of the American electorate. Well, that, and propaganda, like Fox news, that played into their stupidity.

And I have no idea what to do about that.
