You're not wrong, but I guess you're not right either.  The government
got its power from the people originally, but have seized more and
more power for themselves while more and more of us have gone to
sleep.  People are too busy fending for themselves and dealing with
the stresses of daily life to care about government, power, and
freedom.

Unfortunately, we have become a nation of sheep.  I think there aren't
enough of us who care to change that any time soon.

Yeah, and um, how 'bout them Linux?  =8^)
