      This is great and amazing. During this time racism, segreation, and overall inequality of colored people waqs still very present. Yet the NAACP originated evenb before the african american civil rights movement and to this day is now still exisstent.

  • Would it not be a great satisfaction to the king to know at a designated moment every year the number of his subjects, in total and by region, with all the resources, wealth & poverty of each place; [the number] of his nobility and ecclesiastics of all kinds, of men of the robe, of Catholics and of those of the other religion, all separated according to the place of their residence? ... [Would it not be] a useful and necessary pleasure for him to be able, in his own office, to review in an hour's time the present and past condition of a great realm of which he is the head, and be able himself to know with certitude in what consists his grandeur, his wealth, and his strengths?

      Yes, I do believe this would be a great idea. An impossible idea however. Too many things change from one moment to the next to know the exact numbers of everything. Not only thta but in a way too much information becomes useless. It is always important to account for everyone, but not too this extent. Too much time would go into getting exact numbers instead of actually fixing things and doing the thinsg that need to be done.

      I think this great, that MAyor Bloomberg not only fought for teh program but put his money int0o it. If we were to get this out of all politicians we would have a lot better results. Politicians earn great incomes, so why not give back to the people that have put you in that privaledged position.

      Yes the parties are more unified, but with their own group. Government cannot be successful like this. Yes each party must look over its own interest, but at the same time they must also look over the good of everyone as a whole, even if it means comprimising.
