Passive or Blind obedance and unquestioning patriotic loyality is how Hitler controlled Germany. Maybe if a few of the German proviences had seceded in 1938 there wouldn't have been a World War II.

The ballot box is not the ultimate final control that our Constitution places on our government. The Second Amendment is. Why do you think every government in the world, even ours, wants their citizens disarmed? A population that is armed can never be totalled controlled without their consent.
