3. Democracy has been buried. And I don't believe "We the People"
every did govern. Sounded nice in the Constitution. The only people who were originally allowed to vote were landed property owners. Over half the population has not been allowed to vote in the early 1900's (women and all other minorities). Business has always run this country. But now they own it and are international companies, so they don't need to care what happens at home.

We the People have to wake up, get up and defend ourselves. Looks like it too much trouble to get away from the TV and the shopping centers to do it for most people.
