"Our problem is the fact that the vast majority need to be led [...] So we are mostly blessed that good people get this job often enough to keep the great floating crap game going. That is, after all, what Western Civilization and probably the rest of the world is. It's the thing we do while waiting to learn if there is a God." I think this is a dangerous myth. Imagine if slave owners would say that they would keep the crap game going until God showed up. I would rather submit that free people self-organize under their own volition.
