well, at least we agree that governments don't work like that.
I disagree that governments will be forced to change - my evidence is America -- they just rack up the debt - higher and higher and higher --
when the system fails - they will reset a currency and off they go again.
Greece is a master at the default and reset game.
culture is very very very slow to change -- one can see it very easily in say Europe where you get vastly different cultural happenings in very short distances for other places - and, much of those cultural happenings can be traced back hundreds of years - thousands in many cases.
Governments giving back money - is a very rare occurrence.
A video by Michael Moore is worth watching - even though a lot of people will think he's a pinko, puffo, liberal wanker - it really is worth a look at just to see the complete differences in cultural beliefs between different countries and how that effects the services they provide their peoples.
it's title I think is 'Where to invade next' ---------- I think it might be floating around on sbsondemand atm - not certain on that though.
It's really interesting to see what some other nations actually provide as a service to their populations in comparison to others ------------ and, the costs of that - and what you get if you actually spend a 'little' more as opposed to 'less'
the bang for your buck - well done, can be almost astronomical.
