First, you design a better replacement, then you tear down the old system.  So far, no one has taken any steps in that direction.

You should read The Most Dangerous Superstition by Larkin Rose.  It will, or at least should, alter how you view government.  In short the idea that you can take a group of individuals and bestow upon them super power that the people don't have themselves is both irrational and inherently subject to corruption.  The fact that people do so, all be it, draped in all sorts of political rituals such as elections, is largely based in their belief in the need for there to be some sort of "authority" for them to obey. 

I used to believe that "government" could be a force for good, or for what is right.  I was mistaken.  Government by it's very nature will always corrupt.  The less of it, if any, the better off we will be.

I can't tell if this reply is addressed to me or to Mr. Horn.  Regardless I'm going to look for this book.  I need some new reading material.  I've been devouring Hoppe lately.
