    "That's the defining mentality of those who crave benevolent

    tyrants -- our Leaders have so many Good and Important Things to do..."

    Consider a ball rolling down hill and then up the next hill. It does not make it to the top of next one, but stops for an instant before rolling back. That instantaneous pause is the time that a benevolent dictatorship lasts, and the roll back down is where the country is headed.

    Only the people can force the rule of law. Let those elected know what they must do.
