Charles, our dialogue has reached the point of no return, as it is clear that our basic assumpions about what a state system should be about do differ so much that we cannot reach a common conclusion. So conferring about systems of government doesn't make much sense in the current context.

I think Gutenbergs revolution shows an example where 'mediocrity' has changed the world dramatically, and made possible your way of life. My point is more about the 'mediocrity' of the mass customers, who made the industry of book printing and information distribution possible, than about Gutenberg himself.

Regards MNI.

PS your comments about Gustave in the previous posting show that your thoughts do not rest on Earth, but in heavens. I would like to encourage you to more often search contact with Ground zero in future.
