But... local government works! har har Isn't that funny, right? No, it does not. Even local county and city "councils" and sheriffs are often bought and paid for. There's no point trying to convince them to side against their political handlers either. They rule against the local oligarchs? They lose their next election. It's pretty easy to control them. Trying to fight that system, within the system, is never going to work.

Ya, you cannot expect a system to take steps toward disassembling itself. The thing is that there really isn't any other way to get the same kind of reach to the masses that you can by going against the system that way.
The added bonus being that people who haven't realized how inherently evil the system is quickly wake up to it after watching a showdown like this play out.
That is true. It highlights the absurdity of it as Ron Paul's campaign did.
