the next, well, wasnt the same after that.
That is also why I worry about the USA
people dont realize how truly fragile ANY government is. It is simply an agreement, regardless of how authoritarian or liberal or, just or unjust. Once a critical mass (I dont know the percentage) says no, its over.
I have read before that 10% of ANY group can make that group totally unmanageable. They dont have to accomplish anything themselves, just constipate the bowels of the organization.
Look at our school boards all the way to the latest example in our congressional offices.
