In hindsight


In hindsight

Is there a better way?

The subject is the best way to rule ourselves, including in our new world USA.

How to pay taxes is always part of that discussion, too. Said another way, I suspect most people of the world believe in some kind of government where they live, and are willing to pay taxes to help their own causes along.

All the previous forms of governments one can pursue and read about on their own, like make up their own mind.

And of course often we just have to live with what we were born into, like that is all we are willing to work on in our own lifetimes, and to put up with. Often that seems like tribal to me, sometimes called Balkanization in other terms.  Even in the USA we seem to be celebrating “diversity” these days, vice another government (and older) policy called “humanizing”, which is what really is happening anyway. What a country and isn’t it amazing how our own children marry and breed their own future children.

So back to the subject of how best to be ruled.

So far I think our own American Constitution is a good way to balance the rule of law with our own human behaviors, like it or not. Even throw in some capitalism. Now even I am willing to hear about better alternatives, too, including how to get there, like from A to B.  And then, if there is a better way, let’s do it. 

And if there is not a better way, then let us just reinforce what we already have, and even make it better than it is today.
