Summations Only

The really weird thing is that Coyote is in fact an archaeologist. Think about this. While I was earning my way working nightshifts and making bread, I mean actual literal non-metaphorical bread, that stuff that one makes out of flour, water, yeast, and salt --- he was taking taxpayers' money to find out what Babylonians thought about bread during the Late Amorite Period in Mesopotamia. Or something, he's never actually told us what his vital researches have uncovered.If he should ever feel the need to "go Galt", will anyone notice?And if he wants to threaten me with not getting a loaf, then which one of us has actually made bread?Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

One person that no-one disagrees with? Where will you find him?

I have read what you wrote. It goes like this: What does that mean if not that one person could veto the electoral choice of everyone else? What can that mean except that?If you would now like to change your mind, feel free.

That might work in a small village, with a homogeneous culture, with a completely different constitution and culture from ours. I can't see how else it might work.I mean ... how do you actually visualize this playing out?

We can already do nothing. We're good at doing nothing. We have so much gridlock that it would be our major national export if anyone wanted to buy it.

So, we start educating people now ... and in seventy years, when everyone living is dead, we might be prepared for your new political system ... when our present educational system still leaves 10% of people wrong about what seven times eight is? I mean, that's not even a matter of opinion, it's fifty-six. Twenty-nine percent of Americans think that the sun goes round the earth. But you want education to deliver a complete political consensus, such that if we can't reach consensus we can't do anything?

But if, without complete consensus, we can't do anything, then we cannot, in fact, do anything.

Another quote attributed to Margaret Thatcher is: "Sacrifice your newborn children unto me that my daemonic blood-thirst may be slaked with their innocent gore".Really, Margaret Thatcher? Why don't you quote General Pinochet while you're at it, I bet he had some cutting things to say about socialism. If by "socialism" you mean "cutting taxes for the rich and invading countries at random", then yes, that does explain why the government is short a few bucks. Otherwise, not so much.Let's play ... spot the socialism!
