Was just thinking on my recent statement on Trump, how crazy it seems to have one person represent such a vast space such as America.

because theyre waaaaaaaay to large. We were only ever intended to live in small communities of say 20 people. How can you feel yourself to be of any significance in a so called community of over 1000 let alone hundreds of thousands?

There's evidence to back that up, but there's also strength and safety in numbers. I don't think there will ever be an ideal size for governments, but I also don't think there will ever be an ideal government

@HalfCactus: safety only from other humans lol

@JovialPlutonian: Or severe weather events, or agricultural crises, or pandemics possibly

well dont live on tectonic plates if you want to reduce the chance of your house and family getting swallowed up,it is that simple

@JovialPlutonian: It would be a nicer world if earthquakes were the only thing to fear

@HalfCactus: there is nothing to fear but its what we know and continue to fuel

@JovialPlutonian: If there was nothing to fear, why have a government at all?

because people dont want to think for themselves

they want to be told what to do so they can feel secure in doing what they're supposed to be doing (based on what someone else tells them they should be doing).

I mean come on no one else knows whats best for them other than them. who am I to say that I know what's best for you over yourself?

the only reason someone wouldnt know whats best for themselves is if they dont know themselves because theyre too caught up in what other ppl tell them they should do

@JovialPlutonian: if people just want to be told what to do, then what does the size of the government matter? The end result would be the same
