If you think that the power is ever really given back, in
full, you
haven't been paying attention.

Bit by bit, year by year, they hack at it man.  Little
pieces flaking
off, usually, sometimes chucks, which are mostly put back,
perhaps.

I see the cracks, and sometimes, the fixes make things
stronger than
they were before, but sometimes, they're precedent.

You mentioned the interment camps-- how many people are even
aware
that went down?  Is that history that we are quick to teach
our young
(current company nonwithstanding)?
