Unfortunately, it's singular; big bill.

Cabots? Lodges? Never heard of them. In this century, unlike any
in the past, the *real* political power is no longer in the hands of any
politician, for the laws of the land are stable enough they cannot
change in any major way, even if we see that something clearly does
not work right. No, the *real* power is in the hands of the
technocracy. Ahhhh, nerdvana. To hell with the meek, the smart have
finally inherited the earth. spike
