We had a revolution 232 years ago
"The peasants are revolting!" "*Tell* me about it ..."
to establish supremacy of the people, instead of the crown.
Almost got it right, too ...
We are pretty unique in the fundamental concept of our government: that the power is delegated from the people to the government, and those powers not explicitly delegated are reserved to the states, and if not delegated by the people of the state, to the people, as opposed to all powers vested in the state (or crown) and privileges granted to the people.
This simple premise ensures the enrichment of all who hold law degrees.
The fact that a tyranny would face armed opposition is probably one of the main reasons one hasn't arisen in the US, whereas European countries have each had several in the same period of time that our Constitutional Republic has been around.
It's worked very well in Afghanistand and Somolia.
Our megalomaniacs start companies, since being killed by the hoi-polloi is less likely there.
Economic degradation and destruction confuses the issue and provides fewer obvious targets.
The US is different, we like it that way.
Chacun a son gout.
I emigrated here @ 17 from Ireland and joined the U.S. Army because I believed, and still do, that freedom is not the right to be right, but the right to be wrong.
That explains much.
Now if only the Witanagemot club would hold more sway among the Saxons.
Tyranically so, preferably. ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes. - Dr. Warren Jackson, Director, UTCS http://victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
