Power Comes From a Gun But Most Nations Hold Elections Anyway:

There seems to be around 193 separate Countries recognized on this planet - plus a handful of disputed areas .. and I find it interesting that nearly ALL of them have some form of elections to pick the individuals to run their internal functions and external relations.

There are some maybe - pick a number less than 10 - where this will be strongly argued. The absolute winner of that worldwide race has to be oil-rich BRUNEI where there seems to be no vote at all at any level.

Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien Sa'adul Khairi WaddienSultan and Yang di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam; born 15 July 1946)

Brunei is an absolute monarchy fairly similar to UK (which is supposedly a "constitutional monarchy")  - Both monarchs not only tell you what to do but also what to believe .. being heads of state and of religion.

- What my eventual point is .. is that just about 95 per cent plus of our planet is "ruled" or administered by governments appointed by their populations that theoretically run the show for the best interests of the people.

So it seems odd that the whole planet and 95% of it's 7.7 Billion people are in such a crappy mess - when considering that it is supposedly being organized for our benefit.

How many family folk actually asked for 14,900 nuclear warheads to be aimed at them and their mates? - I know that there is a high level of self-harm and "sudden death" in western society .. but are we voting for it en-masse?

How many working voters are happy to see 'the bosses' getting millions plus bonus's while their own families are getting poorer & poorer despite two or more workers doing their best? 

I have previously listed all the bad stuff going-on around us .. but you can make your own lists anytime you can be bothered .. but my argument is ..

Either these elected administrations are very incompetent and stupid people

or .. They are totally corrupt liars who are dedicated to using their positions to grab as much wealth for themselves as they can - while giving their employers - us the finger.

Here's a question: - Is there enough food in the world to feed everyone?

.. If the answer is YES - it proves my thinking about corruption & profit taking.

.. If the answer is NO - it proves my thoughts about incompetent stupidity.

Is it time for a change? .. before they totally disarm us all?

Might we focus in a radical way on what we'd like our administration to do for us?

 Health Care & Welfare, Education, Law Enforcement & Justice are basics that require  fair taxation .. together with power, water, sewage, & transport and .. International laws that would eliminate much corruption.

Naturally these requirements should be provided in a non damaging, non polluting and sustainable manner.

What we don't really need is nobility, marketing lies, advertisements, and billionaires.
