Archy

Oligarchy - From the Greek, olígos, meaning few,
	hence, those guys over there, with their 
	hands in their garments; They say they'll
	tell everyone what needs to be done.

Monarchy - Mon, variant of man, man being the 
	singular form, i.e. all for that guy. 

Hierarchy - From the Germanic heir, meaning "here"
	the ranking of relative importance, hence,
	where to stand in line to get a turn.

Democracy - From the Greek demos meaning many, and
	cracy, a variant of crazy, thus, many 
	crazy people rule, or in biblical terms, babble.

Ethnarchy - Meaning race, therefore, all those
	people, that all look and act and behave
	the same, tell the rest that they know best.

Anarchy - An, a variant of and, hence, another archy.

Malarkey - Those things that are to be put up
	with from all the other archys (and ocracies).
