Government is important because the Many could not possibly co-exist in a
condition of togetherness or community without it. The Constitution
created the triadic structure of Government and that Government is still the
best form of government there is. Because of necessity, Government created
and protected the economic corporations. But now, the unwillingness to
control some of the activities of the corporation has created a value system
based on money that has become synonymous with power. The influence of
big corporations over Government is readily admitted. It used to be that
revolutions were dreaded by government, now it bows to big money. Big
money is power.
     Is government still "afraid" of revolutions? Probably so, because they
indicate someone or some group is unhappy with some social condition
and are giving notice to government that all's not right at the bottom. Is big
money "afraid" of revolutions? I doubt it, because it gets to keep what it
already has. Revolutions don't effect their money or their holdings or more
importantly, it doesn't effect their social position as legal fictions nor the
laws under which they function. To be sure, they don't like OWS, but be
assured, they are not afraid of them. Only government can acquire some
degree of control over corporations by changing the laws under which they
function. But, this would take an action by one of the branches of government.
Certainly, government is in a position to take some kind of action. Or do they
sleep in the same bed?
