Topic: explanations
since you asked alan, what im referring to is the threat of self-destruction which exists in all governments, but is very pronounced in a prominent few states in our era.
unfortunately, the problem is a class issue, and there is essentially one powerful class to blame for the continuation of bad policy. the sad part is that now the blame can be said to rest in the hands of the sheep, as well as with their shepherds.
therefore, it stands to reason that all the sheep--from the gutters and all the way up to the penthouses--are accountable for the task of fixing things; certainly this involves removing the shepherds.
it is strange to say, but otherwise there would need to be a society that is ruled both benevolently and authoritatively, where true justice is upheld, and corruption of character is mercilessly dealt with by proper means. the current prison camp system in my era is a massive drain on our society, as alan can attest to, as well as many other menaces i will not bothering mentioning at this point.
although a benevolent, authoritarian government is a strange idea, it could be accomplished under the leadership of a very charismatic, sagacious, and yet fortuitous leader. the goal would be to set in line certain societal changes to help put the american society in my era back on track, while at the same time realizing the potential of maximizing your citizens for what they are truly worth. this means truly investing in the welfare of your subjects, while protecting them from the diseases of greed, bias, and ignorance.
any truly intelligent leader will first stabilize his own land and invest in the maximization of every citizens potential, with the ultimate goal of maintaining autonomy. any leader who would try to enslave his own men before his enemys is not mentally fit to be in power.
anyway, ive got someone annoying trying to get my attention at the door, and so i will go and pleasantly admit them into my humble abode. i shall talk more later.
