We keep searching & never find it.

I suspect that almost any form of government can be good. If it's run right. Run by good and well-intentioned people. A monarchy, for instance, can be good. If the monarch happens to benevolent and kind and fair. The same goes for communism and for capitalism. But what all too often happens is the corruption of the political and economic system. It's run shoddily. And so virtually every system of government gets a bad name. Prompting a clamor for no or very little government. Of course, that can be a disaster, too. Just giving free rein to everyone. Eventually the corrupt take over. And fashion a government that favors the elite few over the masses. Yes, the common good be damned. Unfortunately, throughout history, that has been the nature of things. We keep searching. For an ideal government. And we never find it. --Jim Broede
