Richard,
As you said, there are different governments in different countries,
and most of them are quite different from each other in how they
function (or that's just how I feel about it.) But judging by my
limited knowledge, most of the time it seems pretty tough to change
things in a government, let alone the situation in the contry.

In the case of our government, we still have bribary problems among
politicians, but I don't think that would be a major problem, in the
sense that it's not gonna threaton our lives directly (it might
affect our confidence toward them though.)

But over all, our govenment *did* work well in handling the AUM
Shinrikyo case if you know the incident of Sarin gas attack in the
last April or so. I don't know if our govt. is recommendable to you,
but I guess each government has some good qualities and some bad ones,
and each of us trying to show respect to each ones would be good
enough to establish a nice federal government if we were to make it.

Well.. that's about it from me. :)
