Re: All regulation is doomed to fail, but it can be a bitch meanwhile
I don't think armed conflict is obsolete. I wish it was, but as a planet we will have 1-2 more bloodbaths. I hate all this praising the WWII effort. It stopped short, and was followed up like [censored]. The 60s generation and the people who fought in WWI that were in power in the 60s [censored] the world in the ass.
You really think the masses of people who are still living in crushing poverty and dropping 4 kids/woman are going ot sit idly by and keep making the West richer? At some point there will be a tipping point and the less rich world will clash with the more rich. Its history, you think its dead?
Im with you that representative democracy won't be the end of the evolution of government, but I despair of it becoming more liberal. At some point the stupidity and ill-informed nature of the masses has to be more insulated from politics.
Jefferson's fears of democracy by the uneducated ruining the country are coming to pass. They are lazy, selfish, ignorant, and partisan.
