Hello kind visitor! I'm working hard on this article. I mean, like, every day I think up new things I could add to it, then I scrap them before I even start typing. This is going to be the best article ever when I'm done with it. But right now it's kind of a mess. Sorry.

(stolen from a facebook message, to be elaborated on later)

if i believe democracy is the basic goal for world government, i will go around deposing dictatorships, even good ones like singapore. i would prefer to see singapore in a democratic mess than with enforced authoritarian "progress". this is my real belief, i'm not making this up.

similarly, you think basic freedoms such as literacy and freedom of trade should be enforced through government, regardless of whether people want them or not.

so, we have different basic goals for government that conflict with each other. you see it is impossible for me to argue with you here. I'd have to prove that your idea of human happiness is wrong, which is impossible, especially since this is facebook and i am not talking to you in person. that's why I said I have to concede the point here.
