Seems education is a primary factor. Any type of government will fail when its people are idiots. Might be good to teach philosophy, ethics, rights and such at a younger age then primarily at college level. The best regulation of government is a smart populace. Partisanship over ideas is a sign of a failing system by the people for the people. And goes to show the education needs an overhaul, but boy is that something hard to accomplish. especially when "the stolen concept" theory seems to be so predominant. Religion, culture, sociology, so many things to overcome for an enlightened public. However philosophy at a younger age may change that. We teach kids stuff before we teach them how to reason, how to think, value and judge for themselves. A smart populace would likely lead to less demand for a big government. Which one would be a better catalyst to start things off, less government, or better education, or work at both ends? It would definitly take time to fix what has happened, way longer then my life. I just hope to see a start before i die. And the thing i understand most, that others dont get who want change, is that it cant be forced or coerced. It can be only explained simply and logically and hope it takes. Or maybe its genetics and currently people are more neanderthal then cro magmum and a worldwide event will have to happen where the current neaderthals die out and let a new homo sapien take the stage. Or on that thought maybe territory is a catalyst to evolution. Since on earth there isnt really that much new territory to expand to to evolve we're simply left with the option to slay each other for the territory to evole or outerspace.
Sorry to bug you cats with my thoughts, but its good to exercise them and look for feedback to better evaluate them. An open discourse always provides better understanding.
- You can't place blame on public school's for you children growing up being ignorant to social issues. If you're an enlightened parent you should have an open forum with your children about these things.EightyDeuce

- not placing any blame, but makes me think parent or school is like the chicken and egg syndrome.********
