It is due to it being the application of political science. It does not permit failed policies to be continued fruitlessly year after year with idealistic fervour, it is next to impossible for anyone surrounded by fierce libertarian critics to continue clinging on to lies. It is a purely functional machine, lubricated with justice and fueled by free speech.

"[He] exposes, in true and lively colors, the vices of a declining empire, of which he has so long been the victim; the cruel absurdity of [politicians], unable to protect their subjects from the public enemy, unwilling to trust them with the arms for their defense; the intolerable weight of taxes, rendered still more oppressive by the intricate or arbitrary modes of collection; the obscurity of numerous and contradictory laws; the tedious and expensive forms of judicial proceedings; the partial administration of justice; and the universal corruption which increased the influence of the rich and aggravated the misfortunes of the poor. A sentiment of patriotic sympathy was at length revived in [his heart]...and he lamented, with a flood of tears, the guilt or weakness of those politicians who had perverted the wisest and most salutary institutions."
All I had to do was change a handful of words and you'd swear that paragraph was about America. I'm sure we all agree that those conditions are intolerable. So let's play a game. Let's play Find out who He is, and What nation is being spoken of! We're headed down the same gutter but so many people think that if we only had a government bigger (read worse) and better (read more inept) that life would be peachy. Makes me want to kill myself.
