For so many reasons, I wouldn't be surprised if a good bit of content on this thread resonates with a number of us. Though, when it comes to this:

    I'm tired of participating in the illusion of democracy.

Yet, the disillusionment in government yields to this:

    Are you willing to protest in the street?

    Willing? Yes. Able? No. I have a day job.

I think the appropriate question from here is:

To stay and attempt to make a difference from the inside? Well, we've seen enough of that, I think.

To leave would be trading levels of security, rights, 'liberties', for others of different shapes and sizes; which, more than likely, down the line will surface its own institutional problems.

What are the [feasible] options left, if not, unthought of?
