I have been thinking a lot lately about the brokenness of society. It seems to me that no form of government is really working. People, for the most part, are broken, corrupt, and selfish. I used to believe that most people would choose to do good if it came down to it, but lately it's been hard to maintain hope for society. Machiavelli may not have been speaking seriously when he wrote The Prince, but part of me wonders if he was feeling some of what I'm feeling. What if Machiavelli took a "beat them at their own game" view at the end?
