Weirder election than Battlestar Galactica's
On Mon, 3 Apr 2006 01:55:32 +1000, in a place far, far away, "Johnboy"
made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: I'm a peaceable person with a fine tertiary education who lives in a very beautiful, sophisticated city of 4 million, in a pleasant, law-abiding country where the only people who use guns to fight crime are members of the police force. I'd take it over any place in the USA were yokel's run around armed to the teeth, because I know were my family would be safer. Your ignorance and bigotry are showing. Rand, I don't think you should start lecturing me on ignorance and bigotry. Hey, I call them the way I see them. Your posts seem to indicate that your world-view is beamed directly into your brain by the good folk on Fox Cable News. Sorry, no. |

That'll put the fear of God into them, 'cause God will be the one who decides. That's won't work because demagogues are by definition completely full of **** so they will float like the turds they are. Tyrannicide can be implemented according to Common Law. In fact that is exactly how it was practiced in England. Yeah. That is how the got rid of Henry the Eight. Bob Kolker No. Henry VIII lived to the age of 56, I believe, when he finally snuffed it. Possibly of syphillis, thought it may simply have been that he was grossly overweight and something gave out. Though it must be said that many of his wives were not so lucky, longevity-wise.

Just release them into a sealed compound, with 20 minutes head start, and let the winner of the Prosecution Pool have a sniper rifle. The state gets a cut of the wagers, and the money from the Pool goes to widows and orphans. The ratings should be fantastic. I want the Cadre Cola franchise! |

"Andy" wrote in message ... Sometimes I think the best solution is to cordon the whole area (M.E.) off from trade and any outside influences and see how long it takes for them to fix things themselves. It'd be a fair solution except for a lot of the bleedin' hearts. That's pretty close to what I was saying about Bosnia- sterilize the ground for 1/2 mile in from the border, seed it with mines as if they were blades of grass, and execute anything bigger than a rabbit trying to cross the border. Cut off all communication and trade, including humanitarian aid. Once every three months, recon in force just to see if they've learned to behave themselves. Once they've beaten themselves into submission, gradually assist in rebuilding, and at the slightest sign of a relapse, pull out and shut everything down for 6 months. This way, they take care of their own problems with their own resources. Outsiders don't interfere and can't be blamed for the result. They can learn to behave or die, depending on their choices. WHen Tito was in power, the people still hated each other, but they managed not to kill each other. Thus, they know how to behave already, they just choose not to. |

I should have marked my response as sarcasm, which you apparently missed. England was cursed with tyrants until after the Revolution which finally put Parliement in charge. Charles I was a genuine victim of tyrannicide. Bob Kolker |

"Atlas Bugged" wrote in message ... They'd collapse in a year. But that's just like "tyrannicide" that I discussed in another thread. A great idea, if only it could be implemented. Both, unfortunately, are just wishful thinking. Too damn many do-gooders. They want to feel needed, so they enable bad habits that result in people needing them. |
