" POLITICIANS WILL ONLY START SEEING THE LIGHT WHEN THEY BEGIN TO FEEL THE HEAT"
One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics
is that you end up being governed by your inferiors." - Plato (427-327 BC)
Unless the people retain sufficient control over those entrusted with the powers of their government,
these will be perverted to their own oppression, and to the perpetuation of wealth and power in the individuals
 and their families selected for the trust. ~ Thomas Jefferson, 1812
