We are getting close to the point where we are a multi-continental, multi-cultural, multi-national community that is going to ask these questions:

Why is my government doing something?

Do I really need what my government is trying to do?

What is a government and do I need one?

Let me phrase this another way... We do need a government. But what is a government?

An institution that provides a set of services in exchange for tax money.

An institution that establishes law and protects the rights of the people.

However, this is probably not true.

They are more like giant businesses who are influenced and controlled by people with money. What most of the countries do is motivated by money, margain, gain, greed and corrupt backpocketing.

I sometimes think that I would like to see this institution run on blockchain technology. Like Steemit. So every transaction can be seen by anyone and defined. Information is open. Voting and flagging is done from people of all levels. Taken into account that not everyone has time to watch the government, a witness could be chosen to represent the people who choose the witness and they can review his decisions at any time.

That would open up information and create an economy where countries would be less interested in blowing shit up and more interested in building new and improved things.
