Everybody is ALWAYS subjugated to the will of the people. Always. This is why
elites even bother with these expensive political shows called elections.
I don't think that the shrinking of government in and of itself, is at all
a bad solution. My problem with that idea is that the same bunch of clowns
don't want to shrink the real perpetrators of power, the corporations and the
business cartels. If you don't do away with them FIRST, and THEN shrink the
government, we will have no access to any institution capable of controlling
them.
In the mean time, only democracy allows ordinary folks to direct the government.
I am not prepared to give this up for your flawed elitist gibberish. But I'm
not at all worried that you guys will ever get enough backing among the great
unwashed, to be anything but annoying.
