    I appreciate your reply. My UI does not allow for downvoting.

    Hmm it seems to be a very political issue. I get the appeal of using technology to make social progress. But personally I feel that political issues are just that: political issues. The US has a bipolar government, and that’s an issue that needs solving. I’m not sure if crypto is the way to go there. I also trust in the inherent good of people and that they are open to reason, and that we can’t solve issues by being overly individualistic, aka hide behind public keys. That’s my perspective, that’s all.

      Inherently, I think that positions of power such as governments attract people who wish to abuse power and abuse others. So the smaller that power structure is the less psychopathic the people that can get into power can become. Personally, I think the United States is too large and should be broken up into at least five smaller nations. By doing so, each nation could not afford a huge military, so would have to focus more on local issues instead of dominating the rest of the world like the United States does now. That’s why everybody hates us.

        I think the US federal government system is out date on several levels. You know I voted for the party for the animals last time. No way you’d have that over there. Even when such parties are small, they get a kind of symbolic seat, which allows them to express their opinion.

        So I’d say update the software first.
