Sorry...I believe in the general idea of democratic government.
The trouble is...people who get elected tend to change for the worse once in
power. If we could just hold them more accountable for their
actions.......I think a lot of the problems could be resolved.

But you can't hold them accountable, so now what?
Keep doing the same wrong things, over and over?

Well, John, in two different topics you've managed to offer nothing at all
of substance.

You live a majority of your life with no regard to gov't, John.
(though that option is fast disappearing)
Sort of a self enacted anarchy.
If smaller gov't is a good thing than it stands to reason the absence of
gov't is even better.
The fact is that gov'ts *force* others to do it's bidding, and the people
that believe in such a thing are guilty of a mob mentality lacking in
individuality.
Are you part of the mob, John?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Two of my previous posts, wherein you altered my words so you could
construct what you thought was a witty rejoinder.

And it is.

Fallacious reasoning. No supportive data, no logical progression.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

No central country government, then you get the African and Middle East
tribal mentality. Afghanistan, Somalia, etc. Who is going to build your
cross country highway system, etc?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
