That which does not govern, or rule, but rather that which listens to the individual(s) on a continuing basis.
But the best form of government? That would be none. Anything that attempts to govern man, is corrupt by definition, and open to further corruption.
I'll go with money, riches, and so on. That's the root cause of war. Oh, and power, but is that not same as money, riches, champagne, smolked salmom, et cetera. But only for the rich, mind you; the poor must go off and fight, and die, to finance the rich. It has been that way forever; do you folks really believe it is different now?
All, in my simple opinion. War serves those that promote it, and the soldier is never in that rich class of war mongers. Money, profit; that's what fuels war.
This is a facinatinating query. What, indeed? I'd put my money on power – no, wait, shove my chips onto the money pile, with recognition for weapons manufactures. In more recent times, it's all based on whale oil.
I love this definition: That (Western Civilization) would be a good idea. Can't remember the mouth that sprouted it? 😀
The best reply to this query is timeless: “It would be a good idea”. Presumably spoken by some eastern hash smoking hippie looking for redemption for Western Civilization, and wondering why it did not work.
Far too many disparate issuses abound at any so called “global summit”. The largest miracle is that these pompus politicians agreed to meet in the first place. Their failure to accomplish much should not alarm us. What should alarm us? Good question.
Fascinating! I love old family history. My name is Blankenship, and I heard it means “mountain man”. I love highland mountain meadows. But, what do I know? My first name is Gregory, so what does that mean? My dad told me we were Scotch, Irish, and English, which always sounded like a blend of whiskey, to me. Could that be why I still drink too much? These, and other wonders attend modern minds, which tend to drift aimlessly in the current, with out someone at the helm. Oh, well.
My money is on George Bush junior, as the most childish (not yet an adult) president. Over rated? He does not qualify for the overrated category – so he wins by default. Right?
