Good points about self-sufficiency - when energy is cheap, and food is plentiful, Government is less essential - the system in ST shows tha politicans have a radically differnt role.
But when individuals have all they can eat astwer - where is their direction going to come from? I keep thinking of the rich pampered twats of this world - not always the best examples of humanity. I guess it'll have to be the politicans that give meaning to our lives, by offering us some greater purpose -
Exploring the stars, to distract our attention away from our pointless lives - no wait, that can't be right.
