Comment To Hell With Level (Score 0) 430

NO ONE except tiny vested interests in any give case gives a hoot about anything being level, or fair. And so what is we all are part of SOME insignificant interest group, Such as Christians for example. Or far smaller clan bands.

There are very few things that apply to us all - pretty much the secure enjoyment of life, liberty, property, and equality before the law.

Other than that, may the Devil please take the hind-most asap.

Comment Stalin Again (Score 0) 223

Gee how ambitious - one's own view of reality, regardless of how badly it models the real world or does anything whatsoever besides provide excuses for terrorism - the principle forms of which are nationalism, religion, racism (apologies for redundancy), group consciousness of any kind, and the original evils, fear and its twin, pride.

Theoretically drivers texting drinking having sex painting their toenails or smoking crack MIGHT be more hazardous to others than those who are not. So what. I'd rather (1) drive doing all o those things when I please (which I in fact DO do, a and when I please, for decades now) (2) see me not forced to deal with the idea that some idiots think that there is some magic that creates a "law" I should obey when I don't feel like it (3) let others do as I do - I defend myself from other drivers by PAYING ATTENTION.

To me the BENEFIT of something is my enjoyment of it. I see no great benefit in empathy tolerance and other 'artist" type attitudes in others. Helping others LEARN, WORK, PRODUCE now that might be useful to me. Making them nice people is as far as I am concerned up to them, I don't give a damn if others are tolerant or Nazis at heart.

Comment Yes Privacy is a disease (Score 1) 145

People evolved to live in each others' laps. Gossip served where dictatorial and incompetent piles of programs laws regulations attack ads and lawsuits now reign. Not to mention Uninformed Security or the Department of Homeland Insecurity.

Record everything. And junk the idea that anyone has but two obligations: restrict themselves to mutually voluntary transactions and refrain from injury or threat to the lives, liberties, or properties of others. There should be no public law morals or opinion, beyond mutual guidelines to facilitate exchange, such as how long a meter is or how pure the water we receive or pass on ought to be.
