There Is No Problem With The American Republic

The basic message in this article is that the basic structure of government still exists.  The question is whether the machine will be directed by an elite or whether citizens will be active in the operation of government.  Both systems work. Most of us have decided to let the elite operate the machine of government.   History is full of examples of what happens to republics when its citizens take the easy way out.  Disintegration takes time but the direction of change may have been already set in motion.  The elite get even more aggressive when they sense passivity on the part of its citizens.  Unfortunately, the groups most actively pursuing more citizen control of government are unwitting tools of the elite.
