Hi Roger,
the thing is that what I think we the people would really like, accepting that someone has to rule, is, to every now and then, give them a light pass to the power with the message, do it well, do not disturb us and let us live.
But it does not happens like that. They disturb us, do not do it well and do not let us live. And we protest.
Well Enough is Enough.
We do not anymore need people in charge of the people for ruling.
We the people rule. We only need the machines to count the votes and we have them. We should all the time have the chance to vote and the Administration to obey.
Your statement about the trick of leading,balancing, is a wise assert nature and universe shows us cheers,._)
