Government should always be questioned. That's why I love the United States. We can take up arms at any time against our government if we so choose.

  As can any Liberal Democracy. That's not the kind of thing that needs to be written in a constitution.

Not every liberal democracy actually affords it's citizens the ability to revolt if needed. What would Europeans revolt against a tyrannical government with? Rubber band guns and foul language?

On another note, as others have said, free trade creates parity. It's to be expected if you lower trade barriers with neighbors. Look no further than NAFTA and the development of the Chinese economy when we began to trade with them more...Imagine if every government had universal free trade with them.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
