Comment Interface ideas (Score 1) 1

How does the interface allow everyone to edit, browse the edits, and filter the edits such that the true sphincter-boys and -girls can still have their say, and also be totally attenuated?
That, I submit, is the UI challenge. Silence no one, but let idiocy itself get squelched.

You also just recently bitched about how much you despise community college.

The last time I thought about community college, I was wondering to myself if I could convince the wife to move out west, where I'm from, and live a relaxed rural existence and teach a little Comp Sci at SWOCC. Perhaps you've confused me with another of your compadres.

So let me get this "straight": are you advocating pure amorality as the only means of escaping a kind of "we will enforce what we want to enforce" moral singularity?
It may shock you, but I'm quite content to view the federal Constitution through a purely libertarian lens. But we need to prevent leaky abstractions in the object model. Individual, private citizens should be opaque above the 57 States, and we should offload the non-Enumerated, Progressive aspects of our Federal government.
However, it's highly doubtful that you have the intellectual fortitude to carry the thought through to conclusion, much less the fortitude to support its implementation.

how much energy will you put in to the enforcement of laws that oppress individual freedoms?

Well, were this wild hypothetical somehow instantiated, I guess we'd have to start with tracking you down in the real world and just screwing with you for sheer recreation.
As far as "needful" goes, one good approach for starters would be to begin with the overcriminalization problem and just work backward. That is, there is plenty of good thought by sane people in circulation on the topic. It's a going-in position.
What's your next diversion? Do you shoot the messenger? Do you claim that "love is hate, peace is war" and any conservative approach is really just tyranny?
