RE: A short statement that speaks volumes about my ideals
probably correct. It still works in smaller communities like mine but I'm sure this has much to do specifically because there are so few of us here. I don't think the system that we have in place here would work in an urban environment.
It's basically a function of entropy. Every open system, whether social or physical succumbs to entropy eventually; it's an inviolable law of nature. Smaller communities with strong social bonds through common culture, ethnicity, and religion are less susceptible to entropic forces of atomization, ethnic/religious conflict, class warfare etc that are common to empires like the U.S.
