Think of it this way, WHY NOT? If people want to act like spoiled children they need a spanking. Humans are terrible stewards of our world. Too many corrupt and criminally oriented people control everything. Now if there was a seriously powerful centralized authority that IS the law when these people step too far out of line they won't be able to hide behind bureaucracy, money, and due process. As a "Ming" like ruler I would make them fight among each other for my amusement. My punishments would be as fitting as I could come up with at the moment and I would treat them BADLY. Everyone else? As long as they behave then we are groovy. The people running everything? I would like them to feel the sting of their own words, "Its a competitive world!" It shouldn't be easy at the top and only one person can fit on the top of a mountain at a time.

Think we would have world peace then?

I'd make it rain gummy bears.

Try guerrilla warfare when it's raining gummy bears.

I mean... how pissed can you honestly be when it's freakin' raining gummy bears?

World peace, starvation, and low blood sugar all solved.
