"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
While You Were Watching Football, Your Government Was Stolen From You...
"Last week the state legislature of Michigan became the 34th state to demand a Constitutional Convention in the United States. There is no time requirement so a convention could be dragged out for years. However, if a national convention does take place, then everything is on the table and the basic structure of our government could be changed forever. Subsequently, the Bill of Rights could be done away with in a formal manner."

The title of the article implies the government was mine to begin with.
So the government that pretends to represent my interests could be replaced by one that no longer pretends.
It could also be replaced by one that actually does represent my interests.
And, in the longest of all long shots, it could be replaced by nothing at all, like an out-of-control homeowners' association that paid just a bit too much attention to other people's grass. Or even their "grass".
Anything could happen, so in my estimation, it is very likely that nothing will.
