TTE you and I see a lot of the same things, one difference I see though, is it seems like you are expecting anarchy(or revolution) to replace our current government. Revolution from the populace won't happen, the govt has made sure of that. A democratic republic is too stable to go directly to anarchy-the masses of people are not nearly restless enough to go there. Eventually the govt will have to defend itself from the people and external, I suspect by an american caeser. Remember rome survived caesers coup, and the wealthy were content for another 500 years. I doubt society will decay to anarchy in my lifetime, but I would be shocked if my children lived in a true democratic republic, or even one like our current form, when they turn 50.
As for the death penalty, joe's statements basically ring true for me.
