The More Things Change....

....the more they stay the same. It was the 1.6 percent in 1860 who were slave owners
 who decided for the 98.4 percent of the population of The American South whether
 to go into a civil war against the The North to defend the source of wealth of the
 1.6 percent. Now the richest (and most educated) 1 percent of the world's richest
 population choose from their own who should lead the 99 percent whilst disguising

 their contempt. A lot of the wealth of the 1 percent comes from owning the means

 of telling the 99 percent how to live and who to vote for.
