[The_Rorschach]

"Why don't you reconsider now that you've got a head-start, hm?"

There can be no perfect form of government until there are perfect people friend. I realize in philosophical matters, and certainly metaphysical, you are more than my match, but consider this:

All political ideaologies are cyclical. A never ending loop of reactionary philosophies born of dystopic realities and disillusioned spirits. No matter what we embrace now, it will, at best, be a temporary solution. Plato was a bit of an idiot, his work the Republic was viewed by my Forefathers as a farce, and I heartily agree. . .So, if the best we can hope for is a temporary solution, it really doesn't matter at all which we choose. Viewing things in the context of my country alone, where more money was spent by the Government pursuing Microsoft than keeping tabs on known terrorists, I think we would most benefit by a powerful and influential Aristocracy.

Not to replace the govenrment, but to balance it.
