Checks and balances are good - my econ professors told me oligopolies needed to be feared though - when the boys in power stopped fighting each other and united to supress the poor and stupid. I often feel the donkeys and elephants have done this. More donkeys and elephants would increase the competition perhaps and increase the infighting and destabalize the oligopoly type stuff. In the history of Rome - I read some pretty scathing stuff by the jews in the Bible - they were certainly not in power eh? However there are many writings that have vanished that would lend considerable weight to your belief. I admit there are questions to how good the info is in Wikipedia - but the journal Nature is bickering with Britannica folks that wikipedia is pretty good. They say the "purple people" aren't so peaceful Elroy. en.wikipedia.org The Phoenicians established commercial outposts throughout the Mediterranean, the most strategically important ones being Carthage in North Africa, and directly across the narrow straits in Sicily — carefully selected with the design of monopolizing the Mediterranean trade beyond that point and keeping their rivals from passing through. Other colonies were planted in Cyprus, Corsica, Sardinia, the Iberian Peninsula, and elsewhere. They also founded innumerable small outposts a day's sail away from each other all along the North African coast on the route to Spain's mineral wealth. King George wants his warships strategically positioned and army bases all over the middle east eh? History keeps repeating. Notice Britain is coming out with new warships that takes less manpower to operate - troops are expensive.
