Illuminati

"The Enlightened Ones".. Very interesting concept.. Led by Galileo, Milton and the others, this group was brave enough to raise its voice against the Church - the institution which ruled the world! Yes, they were penalized for this as expected. But come to think of it, anyone is penalized if he/she raises his/her voice against "power". Lets take our politicians. They are supposed to be our 'servants'. We appoint them, give them responsibilities and pay them. But can we go and ask them to do our work? No. Because they are protected by their 'power' and with sheer force, they could jeopardize our very existence in a jiffy. Well, I don't want to join the Illuminati against our politicians. But I surely want to have more say in how the country should be run. After all, I am working hard to feed the politicians, aren't I?
