One problem with this: >>And of course, an all volunteer army, recruited lately from the very low end. is when the volunteers get restless (the ones on the low end, perhaps lacking in some principle or other) you can get a Chavez type effect... And the protectors of those you would like to hang become the masters. Not actually too far fetched. Happens all the time in South America. And then, there is the example of Rome... 200 years of democracy and then... the military. Might even be supported by the populous. Whats the approval rating of congress? 19%? The white house? 29% Be well and happy, and try to elect some one decent... <grin> cause it does matter. There might be more choice on the local level. You might even run your self.
