Nahhh…. Somebody's got to do it.. Why not you? I appreciate your optimism excon, but how is one to know on an objective basis what one must do to change the world in an optimal way? You have no idea what kind of person I am, what if my way of changing the world will lead to the detriment of whatever you value? What if what you value is actually wrong? And on top of that, how is one person to change the world in any significant way, when the preservation and advancement of civilization requires co-operation by definition? 1

Yep. The Chinese will pollute, even if we don't. Two wrongs don't make a right. Besides, why should anyone pollute when such things could be ENGINEERED out of existence? Provide the Chinese with technology that gets the job done better and at less cost, which is cleaner as well and they will be forced not to pollute. The welfare state will bankrupt us. True, but so will croney capitalism, and all capitalism is croney capitalism. We need a NEW system, one unlike any that has been implemented. |
