Any form of government or philosophy that does not accept human nature as its basis is doomed to failure.
If you don't believe me ... list the number of cities on this planet in which drugs and prostitution are illegal and also do not exist.
Note even laws that guarantee a death sentence can control neither. And most countries, and most religions, continue to demand that which is not just improbable ... but impossible. As Einstein said:
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
Same holds true for allowing and controlling monied interests. As long as we allow corporations and the rich to have a disproportionate voice in our affairs ... we should not be surprised when they take control. They always have and they always will so long as we sit idly by and allow it.
