Dear Diary,

Oh! what a tangled web I weave indeed. Today I found a beautiful spot for my new home. It is nice, dark, and has provided me lots of food. Unfortunately, after finishing my new home a giant appeared. I have heard about them but have never seen one up close before. It destroyed my home, I worked really hard on it and it destroyed it completely. I do not know why, maybe it was claiming its territory, or maybe my home was in its way. It is a giant after all, perhaps it didn't see my home. All I know is that they seem very evil and I have never been more scared in my life. Tomorrow I will set off in hopes of finding another spot as perfect as this one to call home. Wish me luck.

Mr. Spider

government 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.
