Dude chill! Its been this way ever since Man walked out of his cave way back when....In the Ancient Times people had democracy, but was it really democracy? Was Rome a democracy? In the Middle Ages people had the church, but what did they really have? They had a yoke around their necks. Communism? The rule of many? Bullshit.
Call it what you will, but the powerful FEW have always, always ruled over the MANY. Throughout history. Its only natural.
Man has always sought power over his fellow man. Its just a different form of it now. Its naive to believe that what you had (A true Republic) was any more just than what you have now...
I have a nifty blue line!
