So are you saying that whoever has more power always have the right to completely control whoever has less power and the less powerful people's only right is to obey and any objection is wrong and deserves to be punished? What if were only given a few choices in political elections and only people who are hooked up or have enough money to run can run anyway, especially for president, so it's fixed anyway, but were supposed to take that and say "Oh what a great free democratic country!" You know money is power and poor people have no say! When their are no levels of communication left people may get out of order and try to get there voices heard! We are not animals, we are people. I am not livestock opn any rich or powerful person's farm regardless of what they believe. Capitalism is a stupiod sytem. It started so that people could trade and protect their property, and it has gotten to the point when people ARE property- That's right! The masses of poor are being bought up by the rich. The elite try to create a perfect ideal world for themselves and try to change anything about the surrounding world and people that doesn't suit them , whether it be their religion, sexual preference, drug use, type of friends, music! I'm sick of it!
