Government Explained To An Alien

Do you want to better understand government? Take a listen to this animated conversation of a guy explaining Government to an alien. I'd say he explains it perfectly!

"Well, yeah but we can ask it to please tell us to do smart things, and please don't take our money and use it to kill people. We're allowed to ask them to tell us to do what we want them to tell us to do."

"Well we don't try to elect lying crooks. It just always turns out that way."



Aliens final conclusion: "Let me get this straight, because you're worried about the small number of nasty people that are willing to kill, enslave, & steal, you think it's necessary for your survival to have a system where some humans among you for a short while get to call themselves the Government and they get to order everyone else around like slaves and, if they want, commit mass murder overseas, using money they stole, using threats of violence. Politicians get to kill, enslave, and steal, because if they didn't, someone else might? And you try to elect good honest people to be Politicians, but what happens every time is that the people you elect turn out to be corrupt evil lying crooks. That's your system?"

Sums it up pretty good really.


They should just teach that way in schools....

A little boy goes to his father and asks, "What is politics?"
Dad says, "Well, Son, let me try to explain it this way. "I'm the
breadwinner of the family, so let's call me Capitalism. Your Mom, she's the
administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to
take care of your needs, so we'll call you the People. The nanny -we'll
consider her the Working Class; and your baby brother, we'll call him the
Future. Now, think about that, and see if that makes sense." So the little
boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night, he
hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that
the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his
parents room, and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he
goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole
and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I
understand the concept of politics now." The father says, "Good, Son, tell
me in your own words what you think politics is all about". The little boy
replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the
Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is
in deep #".
