We Belong To Fifth Estate

Executive, Legislature and Judiciary were formed to serve people, not rule people. When they failed occasionally and there was criticism, Fourth Estate came into being, to speak for people, in the form of news papers and television channels . When they also failed and stood with the three, forgetting people, there again was criticism and people decided to speak directly. Thus the Fifth Estate evolved, thanks to Internet. They are those who add comments and opinions to every online news article on world's news papers and run own sites and blogs. They do not need representation now: they directly speak and partake in democracy, moulding policies and decisions. They vote up or veto decisions. The age of the Greek city states is over and people will tomorrow directly sit in parliaments and vote online. The world is changing. Fifth Estate stands like an elephant in the midst of us. Still they ask, where is this Fifth Estate!
