115. Mob action and pitch forks
are old time action by citizens. We use courts and strikes I hope. If not...eventually chaos and guns in the streets. The government would be lucky if it was only mob action and pitch forks.

That's why we have a democracy with peaceful elections for a turn over of power without violence. This is being abused by the powerful elite (media silencing them and Congress ignoring them)so the people know they don't have a voice. Since fair elections no longer exist in our democracy (for about four elections cycles) what do you think people are going to do in the modern world?
