[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3626118, member: 24531"] Yes to both...that is my point. EXCEPT to take it further, in the prehistoric times, it was Darwinism...the strong survived and dominated before there were organized governments or armies. In modern times, governments decide what rights (you were born with given by God) that people get to actually enjoy. To take it even further, [U]the weak now control the strong[/U] in many countries, because the weak make the policies that they themselves could never enforce, and then they hire mercenaries with weapons (paid for by the people they rule) to make sure their political and cultural will is carried out...sort of like the mafia. This is fine if the people making the rules are actually representing the people who put them in the position to make rules. But what we have now is they do what they want anyway and count on the mercenaries to enforce their will regardless. These enforcers also keep the peace and do things we like...but they serve the system whatever it is as long as they are paid. Even that map shows that women are who are voting for the policies to be imposed that maybe some of us more traditional folks do not prefer. So it could be said that women are using soft power to completely dominate men in the US, and this ironically being enforced by people who mostly don't agree with those policies, but do it anyway as long as they get a paycheck. There is no good solution, we are just along for the ride I guess...As people who respect the rule of law, most of us will continue to feel that way until either another leader emerges that turns the tide, OR things deteriorate to the point our our children can't eat. It is really weird...western liberal democracies essentially become too liberal and that leads to their demise (which could mean various fates, one of which is authoritarianism). I'm not an expert, I'm just thinking about it deeply LOL. [/QUOTE]
