[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 893649, member: 2189"] Maybe there is the difference between you and I and that is I don't believe in a "better mousetrap" because I believe in lots and lots of better mousetraps. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" solution. Let freedom offer as many solutions as there are brains to think them up and then let them enter the marketplace so buyers can pick the winners and losers based on what works best for them. Voluntary and self organizing all at the same time with people free to enter and leave at will. When you have a controlled market when the consumer is compelled to chose only among limited choices or even one choice, the odds are you get inferior products that don't work and breakdown under the least amount of load. That's another reason I oppose organized nationstates because they are naturally monopolistic in nature and in failure the nationstate will sacrifice you in order to continue it's own existence and maintain authority and control. It's the reason our nationstate when you add up all it's liabilities saddled onto the backs of the taxpayer, it totals nearly $500k per taxpayer and continues to go up daily. If this were a true free market, we could walk away from such abuse and allow that bad business model to collapse and go out of business by just stop being it's customer. If we are free to pursue our own mousetraps or even combine our traps for an even better model to fit our needs, where is the conflict? Where's the need to cheat the other? We both have what we want in a sense. If power and hierarchy thrive off conflict, is it any wonder that the fruits of power and hierarchy ie gov't never solves anything or makes life better because this would negate conflict which is the tool of authoritarianism and dominate rule. Utopian you say? No more Utopian than the system you have and think it's capable of making life wonderful! Besides, I accept the risk of making it work knowing it won't always do so but I'm free to adjust the new conditions to make it as workable as it can be as it also is for my fellow human beings around me. Truth and transparency give us a shot. Your system however has solutions at the point of a gun and I'm just forced to adapt to the demands of the gun regardless of it's positive or negative impact on me. [/QUOTE]
