Trumpeting the importance of voting deludes people into thinking that they have a leash on the government.

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

The more that voting is glorified as a panacea, the more lackadaisical people become about preserving their constitutional rights.

The Federal Government is exploiting public fear to redefine the relationship between the rulers and the American people.

There has been so much power concentrated. There is no leash on that power anymore and Americans face the situation that this power is getting momentum with each passing year with each presidency.

People are so docile right now. It is almost as if good government means when the politicians lie to us for our own good, for the public good, and bad government is when politicians lie for their own selfish interests.
