Decisions

They feel that they live in a time of big decisions, they know that they are not making any.

................No one has enough power to make a real difference; events are the results of an anonymous balance. For the power elite too, the model of balance solves the problem of power. Parallel to the market-economy, there is the leaderless democracy in which no one is responsible for anything and everyone is responsible for everything; the will of men acts only through the impersonal workings of the electoral process.
