Sure it's a political problem. So -- people who want to change the system are required to define what the system is to them. We all don't have to have agreement. Petitioners for change simply have to clearly define their terms. That way we can judge them on whether our definitions are similar, whether those goals are worth meeting, whether the strategies employed might meet them, and whether or not their argument is self-consistent. None of that guarantees a "best" outcome, after all it is political, but it guarantees a reasonable framework for public discourse.



OK, so the reformers need to define their terms. Yes, I agree.
