Descriptions of life in sat yuga or in ideal societies are religious fantasies and not a basis for making real life decisions about how to structure a gov't. Prehistoric tribal cultures are again by definition prehistoric (so not much known for sure) and tribal which means society based on extended family groups which are capable of being run by a benevolent council of elders - generally elders are benevolently disposed towards their descendents - and the size of the tribe is small enough to not require extended gov't. The kind of gov't the tmo seems to want -- monarchy under the strong influence of religion - did in fact exist for centuries and it's known as the Dark Ages. Democracy led the way out of the kali yuga of actual history. TBs will say "but the old dictators weren't enlightened like King Tony and MMY", in which case I say leave the damn democractic society you're enjoying right now and give yourself full time, heart and soul, to the TMO and see how well your life goes (assuming you're not a multi-milionaire-aristocrat). ------------------------ Yahoo!
