"We will eventually perish"...what do you mean? The nation will fall? Or, we will all die?

I'd say both are an absolute certainty.

As to competent leadership...we cannot guarantee that, which is why the nation will eventually perish like all other nations before our nation.

I am actually quite tolerant of the government. Like I said, I'm not even sure the American Revolution was justified. So, however anti-government my posts are perceived to be, I'm actually quite tolerant of government.

I agree we have to evolve. I don't think that means centralized management of procreation. I think that means that we should stop coddling the weak, and reinstate natural selection. Evolution happens through post-procreation selection, not through procreation management.
