I've got to say that he doesn't speak for me...but I suppose if he pointed a gun in my face or told me he was going to kill my children if I didn't go along with him I might let him think he could speak for me.

Nonsense. And on multiple levels.

oh come on now...he has plenty of good stuff to say. He just has an equal amount of tripe I think.

50 50 isn't too bad. Some people around here are 100% shit.

So two cheers for me. I doff my Gee Bee ball cap in acknowledgement.

Aliantha, you're indisputably a human being -- the state of the art in Turing machines hasn't gotten that good. I speak for you, whether you care for all that I say (which would after all be surprising, for after all we don't know each other that kind of well), and regardless of whether I'm self-appointed -- taking the initiative to do it, that is -- or other-anointed. Same goes for Queequegger, really. It is simply what I do when I'm trying to be philosophical.

Humanity is better when it prospers. Less-than-democracy is invariably associated with less than prosperity. Any in doubt could look it up. Respect free expression and property rights. Stay armed enough to make genocide impracticable and you additionally benefit from making crime impracticable too. That government that governs least, or least needs to govern, is that government that governs best.
