El Matador, You seem to be implying that the masses have some power. Maybe that is true in Brazil where for millions who live close to death by starvation, government policy is something to riot about, to storm the castles about, to return bullets with bullets about. Not so in North America. The masses know little about politics and care less here. Less than half of them vote. Those that vote are busy living their individual lives and their (false) impressions are largely guided by the (capitalist of course) media. In their somnolescence they have no power. They wake up, if they do wake up, in the midst of a war about which they are carefully misled. Or in the midst of a depression the cause of which they are carefully misled etc. Make some real today.
