So an Oligarchy (sp?) from what I understand would only be a tool in the way an aristocracy, as you state it, would re-establish itself in modern society...
Maybe not here in the U.S., but maybe in the new "Europe" or Asia...
Might kinda bleed into us at that time possibly???
I guess I'm just not seeing how an "new" aristocracy could effect me enough to warrant anything more than a "whatever" at this time...
Don't get me wrong, I may simply not be seeing what you mean by this...
Could it be simpler to understand that you meant that the "elite" may just simply be "shining" us on just to make us feel like we mean something to the process???
I could actually buy that, if thats what you mean...
Interesting to say the least...
I have to think about your question for a bit.
