I hope you don't mind my telling you a great deal about Roberta. The more I observe her, the more I notice all sorts of things about her. For instance, she seems oddly anxious to make other people happy. Also, she has the power of silent sympathy. That sounds rather dull, I know, but it's not so dull as it sounds. It just means that she is able to know that you are unhappy, and to love you extra on that account, without bothering you by telling you all the time how sorry she is for you. adapted from The Railway Children by E.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
