doesn't that sorta rule out the anarchist angle?

I'd say that it's unethical for the same reason that getting raped in prison being an unwritten consequence of breaking the law is unethical.

Lol. That look was meant to convey incredulity. Sorry if that was unclear.

That was in response to Batlord.

I will give you props in that you are spelling out exactly what you believe in, even if I disagree

Can I ask how is a global system of anarchy organized. And why is it so important that it be anarchy/free association/etc?

Yeh I honestly can't imagine what you're talking about in pragmatic terms

But I am biased towards more autocratic, top down heirarchies. I think they're more effective in general. The more democracy you inject into any organization, the more stunted and sluggish they become.

Specialization was the major breakthrough in the industrial revolution and part of that specialization is allowing for a heirarchy and chain of command to allocate decision making in any given area

As for the UN...I can hardly think of a less effective attempt at global governance.

So just listened to the 2nd debate night in Detroit

Funny how the first debate was in Miami for the Hispanics, 2nd one is in Detroit for the blacks. I wonder what's the next stop on the Pander Express? Maybe San Fran for the sissies?

*San Fran for the self-aggrandizing gentrifiers
