" I guess it depends on whether you get disgusted with how things don't

yeah, government sucks - but anarchy is worse; 'no government' [not to
mention honest, efficient government] is not in the human psyche.
power corrupts; someone will always step in to abuse the power.
churchill [?] was right when he said democracy is the worst form of
government except for all the others, and machiavelli was dead on
about politics and the human animal.
