Every government guy from the top to the bottom supports the current system because the politicians keep them well-greased. If it falls, it will be from it's own corruption like the Soviet Union. The "people" have become accustomed to the bridle and too scared to buck the system(except for those gutsy drug users who refuse to kow-tow).

One of the things that contributed to the end of Alcohol Prohibition was the shock generated by the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. The brutality of it caused many people to decide it just wasn't worth it, but that's all changed. Apparently, no amount of killing is too much of a price to pay for continuing the WODs. It doesn't, apparently, matter how much corruption occurs as long as people can say they are "sending a message" whether that message has any postitve impact or not. I attribute it all to arrested emotional development.

Authoritarianism is like a child shaking it's fist and stamping it's foot because the other kids won't play fair.

Several states have decriminalized pot posession. Nevada, which only a couple of years ago had the most punitive laws in the country regarding posession of a single joint, looks like it will have a referendum to LEGALIZE posession up to three ounces.
