mercedo's Journal: The Age of Self Responsibility

As society allows more and more freedom of individuals how to act in society, the less the responsibility government owes to its individuals becomes. Government/ corporate responsibility has been diminishing as the range of freedom we excercise enlarge, basically it is a very favourable trend our society ought to head for.

We have to prepare for our life plan ourselves.

First Post!

I got this first post before the story even existed!

Slashcode works so well!

First post to a journal discussion? Anyway thank you very much but still remains to be riddle - how it's possible to post before the story existed.

I found the newest SID for a story, added one, Slashdot said it was only for subscribers, added one to that and it let me use it.

So Slashdot is using the same numeric SID space for journals and stories...

I was hoping to post to an SID before it got used, then the post would automatically appear there.

Slashdot is getting very buggy (the it's been x minutes since you posted bug where x>2, the lameness filter bugs, 503s)- hopefully finding and exposing these bugs will make it a better place.

The flip side of freedom is vunerability

[Marxist Hacker 42]

The more free you are, the more free your neighbor is. The more free your neighbor is, the more chance there is that his bad behavior will affect you. In the end- no government and no corporations is just as bad as despotic government and despotic corporations.

Yet I love freedom much more than regulations - since it allows us how to tackle with the situations we face, we can come up with many alternatives to deal with it, unless our freedom were admitted, alternatives themselves would be limited.
