I love the optimism in the first sentence (seriously), but I don't think significant (peaceful) reform will take place. The establishment is so firmly entrenched, it almost seems an understatement to say that the government has been purchased. Add to that the people have no resources are incredibly scared of losing what little they have.......I just don't see it.
That said, I too am scared to think of the radicals lining up on each side. I was wondering the other day if there's a sizable uptick in "Militiamen" type organizations. There's a scary thought....
