More from Muscledaddy on the “GIVE” bill, the AIG bonus tax, and the difference between a democracy and a republic- and the dangers of the former- here.

Here’s a hint: a majority of that queer organism, the public, can tyrannize just as effectively if not moreso than a ruthless dictator. Mobs are not known for their restraint or for their compassion.

    And who, pray tell, said that being “happy” (or reporting being “happy”) was ever the goal?
    I cannot think of any level of selection (natural selection on the individual, family, tribe, nation, species, etc.) that would select for “happy” - rather the opposite - Always More.

    The goal is not to be happy, but to “win”.

    Yes sirree. If the world was anarchy, and all anarchists were as RobertaX, it would indeed be utopia. Wishing for Robertopia is folly, because there are so few extant RobertaX. As you so pointed out.
