The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

    A Poll: Must We Storm the Bastille?

    I'm just curious, how many here think serious change may require a march on Washington of epic proportion, or a throng of real-life American Les Miserable types hanging around the Rose Garden demanding a little policy love from the second-floor balcony? Something confrontational at the Congress on a scale of unity and participation that would make Tea Par-tay-ers blanch?

    Has American politics become so corrupt that we must storm the Bastille? Or can the country be saved without a pitchfork-carrying mob literally (yes, literally) confronting government?
