Unbeknownst to most people they leave over 200 digital footprints each day. There is no anonymity, no independence.

Government is essential, yet look how disappointing most leaders are. Dictators manufacture a story, so they may seem like a "great leader" at the time, only for historians to later reveal the little man behind the curtain.

The real problem we have is not designing the constitution, but finding the leaders. We assume that if we have a good enough constitution then the people don't matter, yet the last 200 years has proved this is false.

This of course is the point of the NT. In the gospels we learn who the Lord is, and in the epistles we learn who the servants are.

Seems the worse people in politics always succeed.
