the powers that be will keep harping on the joys of democracy and bringing up their favorite issues until they have finally duped enough people into going their way. once that happens all discussion is closed and it takes an act of god to regain the people's lost power. the lie of the ballot box has stolen more freedom than any number of tyrants.
