[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 3443935, member: 5800"] No matter how much money one has, it doesn't matter if the population doesn't support it. That's what interesting about the concept of a society. It exists by consent of the people. In some cases this means that the popular opinion wins. In some cases this means that the minority achieves protection against said popular opinion. Money can only serve to sway those wavering on the opinions so much when that balance is tipping. This election is going to be contentious because right now there's a big split between folks that don't want to accept a societal contract --- they only want to believe in the righteousness of their side and that as much as anything has the potential to fracture the Union. I saw a post yesterday where the author indicated that the concept of the "loyal opposition" was perhaps lost --- and that's true IMHO. No matter how much I might disagree with anyone else on this thread, I accept I am in a society with them and we need to play nice. Others don't always seem to share that opinion sadly. [/QUOTE]
