  • Am I having a stroke?

    We call it “autocorrect.”

    I never said you should go get the community to bash his brains in, that’s all in your mind.

    Yes, because you won’t tell me what’s in your mind.

    When you were younger, if your brother steals from you, you’d turn to your parents, and they’d assess the situation. Now apply that to a community, like a small village or a city block.

    You’d go to your parents, yes, who have authority over us both. But your vision prohibits the village or city block from having authority over anyone else. I believe you used the word “evil.”

    So, for the last time, what is your proposal for dealing with a situation where someone strong steaks from someone weak? If you cannot articulate at least an ideal sort of general solution, compatible with your idea that giving people authority over other people is unacceptable, then we need not continue this conversation.

    I’d honestly like to try a page out of Heinlein’s book. No-one can vote, or run for office, unless they have served a few years working for the government. Prove that you are willing to put the good of the many before the good of yourself, then you get to help steer the ship of state.

    There are issues with the system, of course, but most of the people in power today would not be in power under that system.
