  1. Jon Stewart had an excellent piece on senate corruption. Why menendez is being indicted but the rest of congress is not.

  5. Western democracy is lumped together. I would say that the old UK (1660s-1900) was version 1.0 with countless bugs, including rotten bourroghs, lords, limited voting rights. US is version 1.5. New zealand, with its MMP system and reserved seats for indigenous is version 4.0—best one so far. Room for improvement? Of course. Waiting for version 5.0 release. 😂

  7. Hmm. What about Egypt? Doesn't it go back 5,500 years? Both china and Egypt had breaks in their rule, with dynasties and rulers (eg ottomans, English, warring states, upper & lower Egypt, etc).

  8. Isnt Egypt older by about 500 years? Both were continuous cultures, but not nation-states (eg ottoman, English, warring states, upper-lower Egypt, etc)

  9. @horridohobbies  Could you define unbroken though? Didn't mongols take over in the 12th century? Didn't another foreign invader (manchu?) then rule as the Qing? If ottomans taking over counts as breaking the Egyptians, then why doesn't the mongols or manchu count as breaking the Chinese? Would the ottomans have had to adopt egyptian hieroglyphic/demotic language in order to count? That's neverminding the warring states where China was divided into dozens or hundreds of kingdoms. I'm neither Chinese nor Egyptian so I'm not biased, just curious. Thank you for your thoughts.
