The government is the disease in many instances, Platapus. Top heavy and constrained by antiquated laws and regulations that no longer apply. Societies evolve. Government devolves in a desperate effort to survive at any cost. The grand experiment worked well for awhile but progress has left it mired in the mud of ignorance. Exponential growth of even more desperate measures will be seen in the near future. Growing like a pimple until the pressure finally pops it.
