I have no desire for my country to take over the world -- I distrust the very idea, however much you might want me to have it to give you a straw man to treat like a Wicker Man. History is littered with the ruins of countries that tried it, and I am not wholly ignorant of history as you know.

What I do demand is that only good government exist. Anywhere. Failed states suffer from too little government, dictatorships from too much, and "that government is best which governs least." Or needs to govern least. Then there's proper room for love.

We've seen what happens with bad governance, and we've seen what happens with good governance. I pick good, and say make the bad extinct, without let, hindrance, or even momentary inefficiency.

So do you think the US currently has good governance? If so how do you define it? If not, what needs to happen to make it good?

Overall, yes I do, and hold the same view of the UK and the greater part of Europe. Note that no state in these United States is a failed state, nor is any a dictatorship.

I do complain of our being overregulated, one reason I'm a Libertarian in spite of some Dwellars trying to tell me I'm not. They've had to be reminded it's the Libertarian Party and not the Party Of Clones.

Who is the party of clones?

Urbane Guerrilla · 10-03-2007, 01:28 AM

There isn't one, or at least there should not be, not in a democratically ordered society.

(I'm just going to Google up anything I can find on Milton Caniff's Miss Lace.)

Miss Lace? More proof you're not living in the real world.

You're just embarrassed about not having gotten over Burma. In 1943. :p
