i do not think u.s. ways re marriage, entertainment, smoking, elections, campaign finance should be imposed on others. indeed, i would like them changed here. however, i think objectively, many world leaders do not legitimately become rulers. it is hard to pick good leaders or have a system for doing so. plato dealt with the problem of having a good leader in the republic. if judges are appointed we get lousy judges. if judges are elected we get lousy judges. our leaders were notified re problems with airport and airline security and did nothing. our rulers have backed, rewarded terrorists and defended terrorists repeatedly. our rulers have supportd corrupt governments. our society has encouraged the taking of children from their fathers.
