RE: Another day and the world is still falling apart.
Government itself is set up to attract the worst, only the worst people with power lusts want to rule and democracy attracts the worst people that have a short time frame to pillage the populace domestically and foreign as much and quickly as possible. It's called libido dominandi, the lust for power. All government's have this problem since they can't even exist without a territorial monopoly on violence and theft of those that inhabit the arbitrary borders.
People spend so much time and effort to get into government and then do nothing when they are there that it always amazes me. They want the money and power but never take on the responsibilities of it. There are a few good politicians but that is very much the minority and they always get drowned out in the end so nothing ever changes really.
This will always be the way things are until voters refuse to elect candidates who accept political donations from corporations. There are plenty of good people running for government. Most of them are defeated by a thoroughly corrupt political system which the majority of voters continue to empower by voting for corrupt candidates and corrupt political parties.
