Re: SC75

Legislative bodies legal authority exist as long as " the people " approve of it. Unfortunately, most of " the people " in this nation, in the luxury of their general affluence of recent decades have been lulled into the illusion that their political leaders and government will behave themselves without their constant, attentive and intelligent input to controll the wickedness and arrogance of uncontrolled, unmonitered power. The elites in all their forms these days are more that happy to " use" the people, the masses, to further their lust for wealth ambitions, to implement other machinations to increase and extend their control over the poorer masses of this world. History is clear, eventually the hyper rich and powerful always succumb to the inequities of these arrangments. Empires and their powerful controllers come and go, rise and fall, and the US will be no exception. The US people may once again re-assert the vast power they truly hold, but for the time being they are generally asleep, apethetic, unwilling to bother themselves with the extra burden that is always required to maintain a real democratic state of affairs.
