With each passing day, we get closer to the shift in the tide that will sweep away this self-serving delusion of the ruling elites like a crumbling sand castle.<\/i><\/p>\n

Those living in revolutionary times are rarely aware of the tumult ahead:<\/b>\u00a0in 1766, a mere decade before the Declaration of Independence, virtually no one was calling for American independence. Indeed, in 1771, a mere 5 years before the rebellion was declared, the voices promoting independence were few and far between.<\/p>\n

Communications were slow and limited, and this makes the rapid change of the political tide even more extraordinary.<\/p>\n

When entire classes of citizenry no longer feel represented,\u00a0politics has failed<\/i>.
