Answer 1

"On the other hand it is possible that human control over the machines may be retained. In that case the average man may have control over certain private machines of his own, such as his car of his personal computer, but control over large systems of machines will be in the hands of a tiny elite -- just as it is today, but with two difference. Due to improved techniques the elite will have greater control over the masses; and because human work will no longer be necessary the masses will be superfluous, a useless burden on the system. If the elite is ruthless the may simply decide to exterminate the mass of humanity. If they are humane they may use propaganda or other psychological or biological techniques to reduce the birth rate until the mass of humanity becomes extinct, leaving the world to the elite. Or, if the elite consist of soft-hearted liberals, they may decide to play the role of good shepherds to the rest of the human race. They will see to it that everyone's physical needs are satisfied, that all children are raised under psychologically hygienic conditions, that everyone has a wholesome hobby to keep him busy, and that anyone who may become dissatisfied undergoes "treatment" to cure his "problem." Of course, life will be so purposeless that people will have to be biologically or psychologically engineered either to remove their need for the power process or to make them "sublimate" their drive for power into some harmless hobby. These engineered human beings may be happy in such a society, but they most certainly will not be free. They will have been reduced to the status of domestic animals."

As long as Special Interest Groups, Big Corporations, and Big Money are allowed into the mix.... We the people will be left out on the back burner. Yes, you can vote... but the above named people have the ears of the candidates alot more so than the people. This is not the intentions of our founding fathers. And it has turned elections into a circus, and our electoral process into a joke.

Answer 3

As long as we don't know about it, it shouldn't matter.

And there's a great movie you should watch- Trading Places. An early 1980's film starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Ackroyd. It's hilarious, and it pertains to your question.
