I guess it doesn't matter what form of government you have, what it comes down to is what the motivation of the people is. Having a King or a Dictator would be fine and dandy if we could gaurentee that the King or Dictator would always be wise, just, and good. Likewise, a Republic is great when the majority of the people have those atrributes.
As far as Sam Walton goes, I don't know. He may have done everything in his power to teach his children, and they still chose to go the way they did. I've seen it happen before. Or if some of the things I've heard are true, then maybe not. I am reminded of what one man said, "No other success can compensate for failure in the home." (David O McKay) I do not know the details of Mr. Walton's family life, so I will not judge him.
By the way, I like your signature quote, I copied it over to my Great Quotes file. Is it something you said, or should I attribute it to someone else?
