well... the problem with your idea that these natural theory has to revert to the basics hence a method of cleansing needs to take place.... ---> we are far too many for that Jorj... I do not believe the masses will ever be educated enough to understand these things, nor will they ever be willing to do what it takes... For your theory to have worked, this "adjustment" or cleansing or whatever you want to call it should have happened 50 years ago when things were 'manageable' Today... I am not sure... short of some sort of "benign dictatorship.... the problem with that is that power corrupts the spirit, hence it is open for a greater risk situation. Mencken whom, I admire and I believe him to be one of the clearest thinkers ever, saw the pitfalls of democracy, but was ready to admit that it was an amusing form of government that was the most tolerable to humans. Once again, the real problem is the population explosion that we have experienced... I do not believe there is a system that will be able to handle this... I mean I do not give damned how efficient a given system of something may be... if you overwhelm it with volume, it will fail, because it either becomes too insensitive, details get lost in the shuffle, or very easy to corrupt... at large... we humans have no concept of "balance” we are like a troglodyte walking into a fine art exhibition... and the more brutes walk into the exhibition hall, the higher the probability for disaster... We are on borrowed time.... But for the time being.... Pass the bottle I am having fun -lol I mean... what the hell am I going to do... When you have an entire stealth empire issuing orders by a senile man who has absolutely NO clue of what the hell is going on in the third world... for the masses to do exactly nothing about their birth rate... And an audience of hyenas clamoring in choir voices that.... everything is fine and life in the afterwards will be just peachy.... Meanwhile.... the hoards of brutes keep crowding the art exhibition..... as I said.... pass the wine, I am having fun [watching].... -ggg
