DIFFERENT FORMS OF GOVERNMENT- And there are a few

Republicans and Conservatives for America

While I was doing some reserch on previous postings, I came upon a listing of various forms of government. I thought, as a bit of a diversion, I would explore some of the more bizarre forms.
For example:

GERONTOCRACY--Government by the aged

HEPTARCHY--Government by seven people (Doc, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy & Dopey--Maybe Not!)

KLEPTOCRACY--Government by thieves (could describe our State & Federal Legislature)

PORNOCRACY--Government by harlots (Woops, that would be a bad idea)

TETRARCHY--Government by four people (John, Paul, George & Ringo perhaps)

KAKISTOCRACY--Government by the worst (Didn't see government by the best, but it would follow)

We need a bit of humor, from time to time, just to keep things in perspective!!
