[Tfug] The NET

[Don Freeman]

I think the constitution doesn't anticipate governmental change via torch
wielding mobs. In fact, I think  the opposite is the case. It's to be
accomplished via those who wield a pen at the voting booth.

At the end of the day, we as a nation have more ways of taking the
government down than the government has ways of taking us down. The
Constitution provides for it, and does so even during times when we have a
President who blatantly disregards it, and most of congress doesn't hold him
or her accountable.

Until that balance shifts to the other side, i'm not particularly concerned.
Even with all the Big Brotherish stuff thats been happening in recent years,
I don't think i'll see it in my lifetime. All it takes is a sufficiently
pissed off torch-weilding mob to shift it back, and in a country of 300
million, you're not going to be short-handed in that regard. Any such 22nd+
century angry mob would easily outnumber Government officials, same as
colonists easilly outnumbered British tax collectors.

Cheers,
Bowie
