No Form of Government Works Long-Term

I wish everybody would quit thinking they have all the answers.  Here's a fact.  No form of government or social system works long-term.  They all fail eventually.  Why?  Because we are human and no matter what system is in place, people will try to take advantage of it and each other one way or another for personal gain and accumulation of material wealth.

Yup.  We keep screwing each other over.  Again, and again, and again, and again.  It's our innate disease.  As long as there are humans on earth, we will continue to battle our own human nature which includes but is not limited to the need for:  greed, power, social status, etc. 

We have been trying to govern ourselves since the dawn of time.  There has always been war.  There has always been political and social unrest.  If we lack political and social unrest, we go looking for it and creating it (media).  We need drama.  We crave drama.  We need to be upset and "fight" for something.  We need to grandstand to let the world know how "right" we are, and how everybody else is "wrong."  We can't handle predictable and boring lives.  We need to show the world how self-righteous we are.  We just can't leave well enough alone.

While you all are out there in a tattered frenzy spinning and spending your energy, I'm going to silently sit here in complete stillness.  Guess what.  The end result will be the same.
