[Platt] It's the best reason I can think of. Who wants to spend the rest of his life in jail, our wind up sitting in Old Sparky?
[Arlo] But I was asking _you_, is the reason you don't commit murder because the government has you "at the point of a gun"? [Platt] So long as it's voluntary, I have no problem. It's forced compliance that concerns me, like the current political correctness crap. [Arlo] No one had to force me to enter into a social contract. I can see its advantages a million miles away. [Platt] Our priorities, and thus our values, are different -- as obvious from our exchanges. [Arlo] I refuse to believe that leading a meaningful life, for you or anyone, derives from wealth and riches. I think that many are convinced it does, for it is certainly banged into our heads by the capistocracy. [Platt] As you ship off to Borneo I'll be waving goodbye at the dock and wishing you a "meaningful life" as you define it. Somehow I don't think that's a trip you'll be taking any time soon. But, I could be wrong. :-) [Arlo] There are reasons I would not move to Borneo, but none of them are because I would be unable to lead a meaningful life there. Indeed, the same reasons that keep me from moving to Wyoming are the same that keep me from moving to Borneo. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
