I think democracy as a purist form of governance is untenable, the Supreme Court’s mandate is solely to protect the constitutional rights of the minority from the tyranny of the majority. Fascists have taken control of our governmental system, a system that worked before corporate interests took control in the late 1960’s and 1970’s. Public-Private partnerships are an innocuous sounding phrase for corporate control of the people’s governance. It’s possible that open revolt is the only answer at this point in time, but war is hell people; everyone will pay with their lives and the lives of those they love.
