[Peace-discuss] The people

[n.dahlheim at mchsi.com]

The people are soveriegn---I agree with that in principle.  But, I don't think the masses will translate this 
principle into meaningful action.  That will require people acting with responsibility.  People will need to 
be organized and responsible...  Something people will not do easily.  We are way, way behind the 8-ball 
here as a nation in having an informed, organized populace eager to fight government corruption.
