.
As a related question, have you noticed that President G. W. Bush operates from a position of power rather than from one of authority? Power coerces the masses to comply. Don't you think Bush and his handlers know that? We are having their policies forced down our throats if we like it or not. Some of us like it. I don't!
.
This is a significant point regarding the make up of society.
.
When a demagogic person or group operates from a position of power, there is an attempt to create an equal and opposite force that aspires to power of its own. This can lead to productivity and growth in society. Or--it can be destructive as was the case with Nazi Germany. Other societies can take advantage of the situation and take the power over like the Allies did in World War II..
.
We all have a role to play by just developing our understandings so others can learn from us. This IS a democracy and we have power if we will exercise it. But, exercise can take great effort. Some people will call you a nut.
