Equality

I do not want to be a first. I don't want to even be first among equals. I just want to be equal.

We have to remove all of the power and opportunity for corruption from government. Pay those people well, but monitor them constantly. They don't get to have secrets. They don't get to make big deals. Government workers give up some privacy and some priviledge, and get a low-risk well paid job. As long as they don't steal from us, they get to keep their jobs, basically.

Measure and monitor them. Like in a high-security environment, there needs to be counters, counters of the counters, and counters of the counters' counters. Then there needs to be publishers who distribute the counts to the public. It costs more up front, but the reduced amounts of corruption should more than make up the difference. Slow is ok. Expensive is even ok. Theft and corruption is completely unacceptable.

We want peace. We have to form governments that are capable of peace. That will get boring and tedious, but it is worth the effort.

A peaceful government will have very little corruption. corruption creates inequality, which ends peace.
