Governments, yes. But the USA gov't is supposedly a democratic republic
with a capitalist economy. The point I was aiming to make was that
adopting a capatalist economy is not the answer to all the problems you
listed. There seems to be an inherent unwieldiness to human societies
with centralized governments attempting to control too many people over
too wide a geographical range. I think you need to address the question
of the SIZE of a state before you can even think of avoiding severe
infringments on the individual's right to act upon his or her own
decisions.
