a sci-fi government...

   I was just watching a piece on Discovery about how Arab people view America. It occurs to me that if good people who simply want to live their lives in peace and prosperity could bypass their governments, things would be better for everyone. If we didn't have to have Bush to represent us, if people like Saddam had never come to power... Get rid of the corrupt, all-powerful leaders, and work with the collective goodness that exists in the general public. How far fetched is that?
   Really, when people communicate on a one to one basis, as two human beings with the same kinds of needs, things seem to work better. Two people can talk about themselves in a way that leaders cannot. Leaders aren't as affected by what they do as the people they represent. Leaders have more complicated needs regarding money and power. Average people do not have absolute power, and therefore would be less likely to corrupt. So if people could all just sit down and collectively talk, how amazing would it be for the whole world to get along at once?
   Now I'm way out there. Since there simply is no way for this to be feasible, it's as good as Sci-Fi. But it's not wrong to dream...
