Government by, for the people ---
not when they go ahead, do what
they were planning anydamnway.
(They won't know, or care.)  We don't need
their approval:  got it when they
voted us in.  We'll take g o o d care
of them (like we do Veterans,
right?).    Our hands in their pockets; our
lies in their ears.  They will obey
like the slaves they are:  they have no
choice.  If they disagree, off with
their heads, or we'll just pull the plug:
same difference.  We know what's best.
We're the government.  We're their friends.
