Freely admitted the size thing is purely a messy heuristic that sprang into my mind unbidden, backed by nothing and entirely unprovable. And yet, just as too much money tends to ruin things, I think too much land and labour under one roof might have a similar effect, or the same effect by proxy.
Yeah I understand where you’re coming from. Maybe I am also too much of an optimist. I hope not, because I believe if Europe and other democracies around the world don’t band together we might be in for a rough ride.
I think we are regardless, but then again my whole life has been a series of mounting realisations of how fucked we are, so maybe don’t take me too seriously. Who was it that said “don’t let the bastards grind you down”?
