Just for grins then, was what happened a good thing or a bad thing..or does anything even matter?
Just for grins.. In a democracy WHICH mob is in power is irrelevant.. The system is set up for a mob or consortium of mobs to run things.. A system run by mobsters that are all mobbed up.. What they NEED is a different system.. like the one America USED to have.. Currently democracy or communism are just two sides of the same coin..
Socialism "IS" slavery.. by government.. and the government are people.. and the people are the political class(MOB)..
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.-- C. S. Lewis
