rule of the people. then limit political
ideOlogy to the democratic and republi-
can type by which large percentage
of the citizens are disfranchised. Also
by dulling the edge Of interest because
there is really no contest of ideolOgy,
or policies advocated. The candidates
are selected and empowered to rule
by very small percentage of the
people who are told that they, as the
People, rule over the policies of our
nation. <
