We all have to start somewhere. At some point we all (DV readers) have that moment of epiphany when we finally see that our leaders, ALL our leaders, are part of the problem and can never be part of the solution while the system remains unchanged. It is a painful moment, but you’re glad once it happens – a bit like visiting the dentist.

Tom Paine’s moment of epiphany occurred more than two hundred years ago when he wrote:
“Change of ministers amounts to nothing. One goes out another comes in and still the same measures, vices and extravagance are pursued. It signifies not who is minister. The defect lies in the system. The foundation and superstructure of the government is bad.”
