5. Somebody finally gets it.

If you can state your beliefs in short, pithy sentences suitable for postcards and bumper stickers you have a chance of grabbing the public's attention. Two sentences, and you lost them to boredom.

10. Any philosophy that can be explained in a nutshell belongs there

There's a reason that's a CONSERVATIVE policy. That's because simple-minded policies and rules, the kind you can explain in only a few sentences, are ALWAYS destructive and stupid. There AREN'T any good ones. (the Golden Rule is a good example. It sounds good but doesn't actually work unless everyone wants exactly the same thing, which is why we quote it but don't follow it). It's the same reason there's no pro-reason propaganda - because propaganda, by its very nature, is anti-reason.

18. I think you misunderstand the Golden Rule

"Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you."

Everybody does not have to want the same thing, except in the sense that everybody does. Everybody wants to get what they want. If I am going to do unto others, then I don't give them what I want. Instead, first, I find out what they want and then get that, because that is what I would want others to do.

20. But

According to Republicans, the "Golden Rule" reads as follows:
"He Who Has The Gold Makes The Rules."

[saras]

22. There's a bunch of Golden Rules. Some are better than others.

Seriously - you find it differently worded in different places, and they aren't all the same.

Picture the situation where you look for all the world like a criminal to the police, but you know you're innocent. That's a good place to test your golden rule. What would you, as the cop, do to someone who looks as clearly guilty as you do? versus what would you, as a clearly innocent person, want the cop to do to you?
