Oh yes! And how may I beg can we democratically elect a World
Government when the system we have already doesn't lend itself to such
a phenomena? Do you think the tooth fairy will suddenly appear and rid
oligarchs of their vested interests?

The age of your last breath will live for ever.
You are of course the result of the decades of media brainwa****ng
you've received since your birth. Fortunately for all of us there are
some who have managed to overcome this affliction and realise that
true anarchy does not represent selfishness as those in power plot to
make it appear, but natural brotherly and sisterly bonds that exist
and transcend violence.
Selfishness flourishes in the minds of unchecked power centers. The
more powerful the center the greater the danger.
