We can but the American people have become a society of cowards. Our Declaration of Independence CLEARLY tells us our duty when our government gets out of control.

Let's talk about those in charge. In his essay "Des Cannibales" (Book I, Chapter 31), Montaigne (a 16th century major French thinker) ponders the precarious nature of power and wealth. He observes that even the most influential and affluent individuals can experience defeat and loss. Montaigne reflects on the diverse cultures and societies he encountered, particularly those of the indigenous people of the New World. Despite their unconventional and sometimes rudimentary ways of life, these people were able to lead joyful and carefree lives. In contrast, European societies, despite their wealth and power, often suffered from internal conflicts and tensions. Montaigne does not directly state that the elite scheme their downfall, but rather implies that societies fixated on power and material possessions may be more susceptible to hardship and misfortune.
