The various governments, dictators, theocracies, and fundamentalist organizations the globe over cause endless problems for those they ‘serve’. Are they worth it? I have no issues with the average Iraqi…as a matter of fact she/he wants the same things that I want. Food, shelter, and happiness. So why are we both allowing those who desire control over us to do so? Is it not time that people the world over shake off the useless nation state unless it is truly serving our best interest. Governments around the world have become nothing more than ways for those in control to remain in control. “A conspiracy of the rich, who on pretence of managing the public only pursue their private ends, and devise all the ways and arts they can find out; first that they may, without danger, preserve all that they have so ill acquired, and then that they may engage the poor to toil and labor for them at so low rates as possible, and oppress them as they please”. Thomas Moore Time to end governments?
