    Of course the only way to remove yourself from all rulers is to remove yourself from human contact.

    In strict terms, yes. But every single social interaction is not based on pure aggresion or the need to dominate, nor would this be natural in an anthropological context. Such behavior will only occur in the most crowded areas of human habitat, considering the fact that an individual can only tolerate a set collection of people, before losing touch with the instinct of flocking. The loss of a "clan", "flock", "family" will in time segregate the social aspects of a psyche, making people more susceptible to play the game of domination and hence reinforce the need of others to retaliate. So, all in all, we're still herding and copying others behaviour, but the entrophy of social bonding thereby increases. Ghettos, gangs and your average mob are perfect examples of the need to affiliate, to belong.

    In larger groups the ones who take the initiative to deal with problems become the rulers.

    In large groups, the initiative to rule will be motivated by among other things, power. And as we have seen countless times in our recorded history, power absolute will corrupt absolutely. But hey, let's not get carried away and label every/all ruler(s) as a fascist(s), but instead take a more moderate view, as found in most "civilized" regions of the planet. The function of an elected office of rulers would be, as you correctly state, to mediate and distribute; to my knowledge, neither principles are fully met on such a large scale as a nation. So it seems, that if government as an institute should be fully functional and serve the needs of the many, the populace must be significantly lower than what we observe today. Only then, such "rulers", could do a decent job. But how realistic is that? The growth of the human race is steadily rising, and only a 3. world war or a plague of sort could do something about that. The conflicts and need of 6 billion people, equals some pretty harsh methods of control, in order to rule.

    AFAIK, the natural way of sorting out problems in any aspect of social interaction would be through cooperation of the respective parties with a mediator chosen by those inflicted. And once the problem is solved, the ties will disintegrate, only to be mended again when similar situations arise.

    As it is today, an elected government will barely do it's job, at the cost of the people subjugating to an infinite power, abstract in it's form, but entirely in control. All because we like to fuck, and made some machines and medical discoveries to keep us alive, longer and longer. SNAFU, I say ;)

    ...why?

    Oh, I don't know...maybe it has to do with something quite rare these days:

    principle
    n 1: a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can
    be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct; "their
    principles of composition characterized all their works"
    [syn: rule]
    2: a rule or standard especially of good behavior; "a man of
    principle"; "he will not violate his principles"
    3: a basic truth or law or assumption; "the principles of
    democracy"
    4: a rule or law concerning a natural phenomenon or the
    function of a complex system; "the principle of the
    conservation of mass"; "the principle of jet propulsion";
    "the right-hand rule for inductive fields" [syn: rule]
    5: rule of personal conduct [syn: precept]

    an explanation of the working of some device in terms of
    laws of nature); "the rationale for capital punishment";
    "the principles of internal-combustion engines" [syn: rationale]


    But I can very well assert to the fact that it is hard to discern between principles in a practical fashion and ye good ole' fanatism; principles per se is often hard to live by and these days more or less trivialized, but to paraphrase Frost: "that make all the difference".

    Actually, that's about the surest way to lose. Remember: politics is the conflict over the distribution of values and burdens. If you're not in the game, that just means more of the former for the rest of us, and more of the latter for you.

    Whey is a must if you're training for an increase in skeletal muscle, but as an addendum, and since you didn't mentioned in your post, I'd like to give some further advice:
    Try consuming some C-vitamin(approximately 1000mg) and some slow-burning carbohydrates an hour or so before the workout. The vitamin will greatly reduce any soreness bound to occur the following days and the carbo will give you the energy required to endure heavy training. When you've finished training, the general consensus is that you should consume about 30-40 grams of whey and 1 gram fast-burning carbohydrates per kilo bodyweight. This would be something like maltodextrin or similar fast acting sugars which will replenish the glycogenic reservoirs such as the liver and muscles. To get the desirable effect, consume the whey and carbo within 30-40 minutes after the workout.

    And last but not least, heed the axiom of bodybuilders preached at the preacher-bench in any serious gym: Train hard, but with good form. Never pile on more weight than you can effectively use to contract a muscle in a proper fashion!
