I actually agree with most of what you say here and these things are faults of the human race. They don't have to exist in another race though. And its also very likely that if things develop they way they are everyone WILL be part of a strong "empire" that is actually really effective in gettign things done. Not nessecarily in the best way unfortunately but still. I'm talking ofcourse about China which is the fastest developing superpower at the moment.
