Marriage

The ‘cherish’ in ‘love and cherish’ just means sex. By contract you’ve just got to keep fucking them. If you don’t then that contract is terminated by one or both parties. Unfortunately the termination clauses are only written down in legislation and case law, so you only find out how fucked you really are after the fact.

Democracy

In Australia we’ve got autocracy by bureaucracy.

In China they’ve just got autocracy.

And they’ve got bureaucracy – lucky them.

Arguably in both countries it’s rule by law and not the rule of law. That is, are the law makers subject to their own laws? Mostly not, by differing means.

Ultimately, all people that rise to the top of the political system are there for money, power and fame. That’s an a constant everywhere.
