New Gradualism

I'm a firm proponent of this principle whether in law or elsewhere.

\r\n\r\n

The problem, of course, is that you're left with the current brain-death for a long time. The advantage is that you're not replacing it with tomorrow's brain death in one swell foop. There are clearly a great many things about current law and constitution which could be changed. Ensuring that the changes I want are the ones adopted is the problem. Stretching out the processes, given a reasonably good start, means that the process is considered, and the incremental damage is small.

What part of "gestalt" don't you understand?\r\n

New Only goes so far
Gradualism only goes so far, because history shows that political systems accumulate errors at a faster rate then they can be corrected.

Eventually you get either a revolution or a collapse.

I'm not sure we are at that point yet, but I'm not nearly as optimistic as I used to be about it.
