"The supreme issue... is the encroachment of the powerful few upon the rights of the many"

   Wisconsin's "Fighting Bob" La Follette, 1912

 

"Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner".

   James Bovard, Civil Libertarian (1994)

 

 

I hold my hands in front of me to block my line of sight

It seems my eyes are growing tired of staring in the light

The more I see the more I feel the less I want to know

Because if you think to much you'll blow your mind

You might just lose control and scream
 

- Lyrics to "Scream," by Seven Nations (Kirk McLeod)

 

 

As theologian Reinhold Niebuhr once described in Moral Man and Immoral Society:

"The stupidity of the average man will permit the oligarch, whether economic or political, to hide his real purpose from effective control... Since the increasing complexity of society makes it impossible to bring all those who are in charge of its intricate techniques and processes, and who are therefore in possession of social power, under complete control, it will always be necessary to rely partly upon the honesty and self-restraint of those who are not socially restrained."

 

 

"We probably know more about tribes in the Amazon jungle than we do about the real nature of power in the United States. Neither political science, nor history, nor economics do very well on this."

   - Tom Ferguson
