I don't know if it's true - but my stepson (he is good at history) told me that Germany used to be made up of about 300 small kingdoms that functioned well without any form of central government.Flash wrote:Bad as politicians and especially politics can be, I wouldn't want to live in a country without a functioning government..
Then there was a move to "federate" the kingdoms and unite them.
The rest is history I guess. The "Third Reich" movement tried to bring the whole world under one government. But those that wanted to unite the world by force have been taken over by those that want to unite the world by peace and soft words. But what has happened to Germany now that it has been taken over by the "unite the globe" brigade?
It doesn't work.
Maybe we need to go back to smaller areas of likeminded people without the attempts to make everyone live the same culture.
Vive la difference.
