4. Heres the thing.
Edited on Sun Dec-12-10 05:55 PM by RandomThoughts
There are economic systems.

There are political systems.


If you have a political free transparent society, where people can discuss with out fear, then the best of economic system will be what people want and more often get.

Anytime a system is secret it will drift to failure, since all people are flawed, and those that support secrecy have, sorry, but a few more flaws when it comes to desire for power, since they don't have the help of a system of transparency helping them to stay straighter.


So honestly it is not about communism, or even capitalism, it is that secrecy will create a bad system out of either, while transparency and education will help people find the better system.


That even includes transparency about your own motives also.

That does not mean that things can not be private if of little relevance to larger contexts, many times that is used for smear, it also has to have perspective, so that things that are most relevant are thought on.

7. I think the most important word in your reply is: education.
Unfortunately, education threatens the powers that be....that's the root, I believe, of the teacher bashing. Good God we don't want our kids to learn about questioning anything! :sarcasm:

11. Well that is an interesting take on it.
And perhaps true...for secrecy is to corruption what water is to fish.

10. I have noticed that trend.
Make something happen, or wish it to happen, then get a news outlet to broadcast your thoughts as if you had discovered some random event, totally unrelated to you.

15. May I respectfully disagree. Killing the messenger is the quickest
way for a takeover.

You better believe Obama will not be the dictator.
