Thread: Mans Intelligence

I really appreciate this thread --- thanks Mark ---- I think it shows how we can have a political discussion without pointing out and scrutinizing individual countries.

Bruno, thanks for your contributions --- as you seem to be the only person from Europe (the mainland) who contributes regularly and gives the European's perspective.

But anyway good discussion.

Well thank you!!
I am glad we are talking about ideas and principles instead of pointing our bony fingers at each others governments and people!
I hope this thread continues in this fashion. It is, by the way, a great example of self government and self regulation!

Yup I appreciate to learn what others think and why.

Out of curiosity: you are both americans. what would you take away from your government and put back into the hand of each individual american, and would the result be a government that is signifficantly smaller than the current one?

Now don't get specific on me Bruno --- I've been talking in platitudes --- I'll have to give that one a good think.

I would get rid of the civil court system and reinstate pistols at twenty paces!
It's a deep question Bruno, and like Justin said, I have to think on it!!

No problem. I'll be here, waiting.

...and waiting....

How can we expect individuals produced by a government dominated education to be capable of dominating the government?

As with other things, through impartial review of the system.
