To any who are interested...

Quote:Slacker, but isn't no will/apathy really just another form of the general will? Look at Nixon. During the Vietnam War, there was a vocal minority (the Pacific Army for instance) sitting outside the White House and making a lot of noise. One could say that the rest of the nation was apathetic because it didn't seem to care one way or another. But when Nixon went on TV and called for the support of the Silent Majority, he got it.

We can't really say that the majority is corrupt just because they are 'apathetic', can we? Their will seems to be to let FS remain in power, for good or bad.
Yes, but the "silent majority" would also "support" anyone in the position. The vast number of them are not in the UN (and thus do not vote one way or the other), or don't have anything to do with the regional government period, as long as they don't get hassled. To bring in a bit of contract law--the lack of an answer to an offer through silence (in this case, the right of Francos to govern) does not imply acceptance of the offered contract.

Also, I don't recall stating that the majority was corrupt.
