Thread: Mans Intelligence

Out of a sows ear one can not produce a silk purse!
All the stupid things that you mention that people do, Bruno, were done under one form of government or another. If the people are good, intelligent people you will get good, intelligent government, but then you wouldn't need a large government, only a small one with limited scope! With stupid unintelligent people (as you assume most are Bruno) you get a large, cumbersome, unintelligent and often cruel government, who believe only they know whats best for you. The latter government I described grew directly out of thoughtless, unintelligent people, how could that government be any different?

If one person can be self regulating then all people can be self regulating! It has to be expected of each of us so that it can come to fruition instead of assuming we are to stupid to walk and chew gum at the same time!
