Okay, and can you back that up with anything other than conjecture?

I'm not of a mind to do so. I'm not because, as I implied, that's my opinion and its basis derives from my own experiences and observations about what has worked effectively for me and my family to thrive, personally, professionally and socially.

Okay, this intellectually dishonest idiot has exhausted me.

The point, which is an indisputable fact, is that no system or establishment is sustainable. All have fell victim to the cycle of violence, and when you are looking to build something that can last, that is kind of a big deal.

Just what does "sustainable" mean to you? Within the context of a state, the state's not ceasing to exist as a state is a state that has sustained itself. That makes it sustainable. It may be that the character of the state must change for the state itself to endure, but that's fine. The state carries on if it does indeed adjust its nature when it's necessary to do so.

Yes, that's why I mentioned China, Japan and San Marino.
