Here's a thought that might help freedom-loving men and women win
elective office and gain influence over society's future course: Perhaps
our fellow citizens aren't fools after all!
As with Transparent Society, I agree in principle with
Brin, but there are some very important details that have
not been worked out. We should leave other societies to
their own ways, however different levels of governments
disagree. Take for instance the woman threatened with
execution for copulation. She most likely opposes the
sentence, as does her family, but the village might
support it, whereas the province opposes but the
nation supports. Which level of government shall
we support or oppose? It is an oversimplification
to just say let other nations do their thing. spike
