1. Political Accountability

Primacy of Law over Revelation. Religious revelation to some shall not ground laws for the public. Propose pragmatic secularism for interaction areas among humans and groups; religion and dogma fine for the individual's own life, if he or she chooses.

Let the deal speak for itself, the person remain accountable for language, use of persuasion techniques needed where there is merit, because merit alone speaks softly.

Political Disruptive Behavior Disorder Tantrums? Apply the DSM-IV conduct disorder diagnoses, usually applicable to children and teens, to adults.
7. Transparency
C Street. When Congressmen Combine to Espouse Secret Religious Allegiances Superseding the Constitution. Keeping real allegiances secret. Do our beloved politicians do that in order to get and stay elected? Do they? What recourse for voters? Ouster? Transparency alert.
8. Abuse by Privilege
Privilege maintainers vs. Risers up
Sotomajority - Escape from the SO Yessir Corral Privilege Maintainers vs. Secondary Others. Long-corralled Majority for Sotomayor leaps the fence. Reject the new PM pledge.
Table-turning
Spigots in Politics: Waterloos. When the Waterloo-er Predictor becomes the Waterloo-ed. Health reform. Obama as new lion of Waterloo. Heart vs. cold.
Can it last?
