It is true that many bright writers are now seeing our plight in those very broad terms that our founders created formally and retroactively embraced out of necessity, and which these writers recognize as directly relevant to our situation at hand. What is not clear is in what manner can citizens organize and combat the evil that surrounds them, precisely because of this lack of focal discomfort which I have tried to describe. Do they boycott Arab oil pumps? Are they even aware that such is possible? How about massive numbers of recall elections? In order for that to work it would be necessary for people to know that this could be done, and to see clearly to what end. One or two idealistic individuals could be eliminated without a trace or a ripple.
With the inability to protect one's property, one's income, or even to have control over money by exercising the right to trade in any monetary equivalent one chooses, with the inability to regard one's person and loved ones sacrosanct and to defend them with weapons--what is left in the way of a departure point? Even the right to privacy is lost.
The current crop of international criminals wish to reduce the world to one large feudal system. Such a notion endured for many centuries before. Could they really believe such is possible? Could they really pull it off?
In this last regard, history does not speak in our favor.
