Unfortunately I think that it will always come down to survival of the
fittest.  Unless we can somehow remove "greed" from our species I
doubt any political system.. no matter how carefully designed.. will
work.  Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.  People
will always find a way to take advantage of other people.  We need to
evolve past individualism.
