To give those ten selected few power to make laws....in an emergency of course.

And boy does emergencies come cheep and easy now-a-days since we have had more than 10 years of continual fear...we can't even trust our underwear anymore.
Fear dominates our life...and man what an opportunity that has been for a takeover in the past.

We decided to ask around. Has anyone ever heard of this? Oddly, we managed to make contact electronically with people inside Shelbyville. We asked the mayor. Nope. The emergency management director of Shelbyville’s Bedford County? Ditto. The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency? Again, the answer was no. The state Department of Safety and Homeland Security? Nay. We even asked Sadie Fowler, editor of the Shelbyville Times-Gazette where Womick supposedly read the little story about the blast.

“We have no recollection of anything remotely similar to that,” Fowler said. “He must be confused.”
