Who should rule? In most cases round here, one should rule oneself only and back the hell away from others.
A friend reminds me of Morris' candidacy in Mexico City, and in Alaska, Stubbs was Mayor of Talkeeta for 15 years. Purrfect solutions to political evil? Subject: Mexico City election (2013), and town of Talkeeta The 2013 election in Mexico City had Morris as a candidate: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/19/cat-stands-election-mexican-city https://www.mnn.com/family/pets/stories/morris-the-cat-runs-for-mayor-in-mexico Morris didn’t win that election, but he got around 12,000 votes. But then there was Stubbs. Stubbs was mayor of Talkeeta for 15 years: (until he died at age 20 years) https://allthatsinteresting.com/mayor-stubbs-the-cat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stubbs_(cat) “He doesn’t raise our taxes — we have no sales tax. He doesn’t interfere with business. He’s honest.” On Sun, Jan 13, 2019 at 10:09:48AM +1100, Zenaan Harkness wrote: > Lee Camp reminds folks of the incredible and ongoing success of the > very peaceful Mexican town of Cheran: > https://www.rt.com/news/448656-lee-camp-russiagate-facebook/ > > > Most folks hear "anarchy" and only hear "chaos". > > Perhaps s/anarchy/cheran/g ¿? :) > > > > > On Tue, Jul 03, 2018 at 09:28:43PM +1000, Zenaan Harkness wrote: > > A Mexican Town Overthrew Their Local Government And Things Are Going > > Great > > https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-07-02/mexican-town-overthrew-their-local-government-and-things-are-going-great > > > > The town of Cherán, Mexico was once plagued… > > Cherán is now run by autonomous groups of armed individuals… > > members of an autonomous militia — guard every entrance to the town, > > looking for strangers with contraband… > > > > “Contraband” would be considered political propaganda posters of > > those who claim the right to rule other human beings. > > > > …Cherán has achieved something unthinkable in Michoacán: a dramatic > > drop in murder rates, with rates for other serious crimes hovering > > at nearly zero.
