Can anyone say, "Elected King?"
There are most certainly a growing number of articles on the topic, and many people's thinking on this topic is becoming more and more aligned (or perhaps, polarized???). Is the increase a result of greater awareness and recognition by the citizenry of what's happening, or is the increase a result of greater and more frequent abuses of said power? I don't know. Prolly both.
