Blood-DNA is basically a question of having the more reliable guys and girls rising through
the mechanisms of the political power culture.

That is, a matter of the mechanisms of the political system, and all it includes, from
local politics, elections, all the way to presidential such.

Luckily no nation has copied the 2-party, single-member-district,winner-takes-all system of US-UK-Canada,
although Malta has had some difficulties.

On the other hand, nations like Israel has achieved something similar by building on the total opposite
view on democracy, funny stuff, if it would not be so tragic.

Well, OK, "the 2-party system has served USA well", little chances of getting civil rights, already
some 100 year late, through the political machinery without those manipulations of the 60s and 70s.

Funny thing, that the 2-party, 100% nonproportional system of USA is basically gerrymandered
by something totally opposite, the proportional representation through manipulation of voting
districts.. historic compromise of those not totally ignorant, as some say it.

However, few would be as foolish as recommending either information, education or implementation
of anything more like post-1700 for USA, could become a real situation of chaos.
However,however, as things went really wrong this time, maybe ...well...impossible... total
chaos...
