I can tell you are a good guy, but you need to learn your history. Let me give you a reminder. The stupid government you refer to is our democracy. it replaced the tyranny of kings, queens, dictators and tribal chiefs with rule by the people. You want to go back to rule by dictators. We are headed right now for rule by the very rich!! How do you think that is going to work out! When have rulers ever worried about the people in all of history. King solomen, Ok, but that was a while ago-lol. You do understand we need some sort of government don't you? Without the rule by the peopel you get dictators and with no rule you get anarchy e.g. "Lord of the flies". <<Government is stupid, too stupid to control or predict the cause and effect chain reactions it sets off. What little good it does seems to be mostly by accident and usually at the huge cost of some other great evil somewhere else in the system. Again oversimplifying, but not by much. End of rant. ARS
