JHK can boot me anytime he wants. I'm just an average putz just looking for some interesting debate. Hell, I had my ass handed to me by P.B. today. Sensitive Monday I guess. Sorry if I offended.
You are right with your cynicism about government. I think my point is that we cannot, no should not, ignored the crappy government we have evolved into. Government is inherently evil as it is powered by power people. If government is allowed to run open loop, of course it becomes corrupt.
BUT, the government is a subset of its population, albeit a corrupted one. We are the government and the government is us, in any nation. The really big problem is what happens when a nation becomes too diverse with little common culture. That is where we are now. Tito formed Yugoslavia out of a widely diverse population. We know how that turned out. The EU is trying to Americanize Europe with all its diverse cultures. Not much success there. The Europeans tried to section up Africa without paying attention to cultural differences, we know how that turned out, same with the Middle East. India split in two.
So, Cankerpuss, if you had TrumpтАЩs ear, what would you suggest to offset the diversity situation, what government changes would make it work for everyone?
Enjoy the day, Cank. CFN loves ya.

I think you got the best of Paul Brunton.
Handed you your ass?
Hardly spirited discussion is good as long as some form of growth occurs.
