a.k.a. plutocracy

I had a feeling there was a specific word for that.

The only way to have a government too small to be worth influencing is to have one so small it can’t do much of anything at all. A failed state in other words.

You could just limit what powers the government possesses. Just because a government is permitted to pass laws to prohibit people from causing harm to others does not mean they must have the power to create subsidies or start wars.

To count past ten, I have to take of my socks. To count past twenty, I have to take of my underpants. Sometimes simply arithmatic is beyond me. I can’t even blame it on bad education. :smack:

I am increasingly glad that I wasn’t around to help you measure the snowfall. :eek:

It was deep. Deep enough that a big snowplow got stuck on my road.

Any more than eight inches falls, I’m pretty much at a loss.

But that still would leave it well within the realm of being powerful enough to be worth influencing.
