P**ce

The current strike against the government of this country is putting the basic blessing of our political system at risk. That blessing is the peaceful, periodic transfer of governmental power through representative elections. Withdrawing the consent to be governed by a body which was formed according to those consensual principles will destroy the unique peace our system provides us. This strike is being carried out according to the current rules of our system, and it would be vital to the survival of this system to address the problem and fix the structural weakness that permits it.

The prior attacks against our system of government were not carried out within the forms of our consensual political system, and the failure of the the current government to investigate what crimes were committed, and then prosecuting those crimes in an orderly way is the origin of the current loss of consensuality.

Sadly, the current government is in the process of being dismantled, and when it is replaced, our method of government, the peaceful periodic exchange of power will be replaced with it since it will be proven that that principle is not one that Americans value at any cost. That quality of ours will be replaced by what we do value.
