-Doing right - harder than it sounds o_o?-

The words of a thoughtful man.

The yearning to be taken care of by the government is most dangerous. This pursuit of the collective whether Marxist, Communist, Progressive, Capitalist or by any other name  in execution is suspect at best.
On the way to collective material nirvana the populous would constantly run the risk of being enslaved and killed by monolithic governments.
The idea that we can design and 'build' a human utopia is unbridled hubris.
Should the construction of utopia succeed it would only provide a nicer place from which we could go to hell. Or to be ultimately consumed by government.  Governments are necessary to groups because so much more can be accomplished with a good and stable government than without one. That being said - remember that Government is like fire, a useful servant but a fearful master.  Like fire governments must be carefully handled and always  with the means to curb them in hand. 

Big governments are like alligators.
If you are confined in a pond filled with large alligators, it does not matter how many others you feed to the alligators.  Rest assured that you will also be eaten.  Feeding others to the alligators only delays your appearance on the menu.
