Interesting. I find these ideas fascinating. Perhaps i'm a bit pessimistic, but I don't think either of these ideas would work for very long. I think it's human nature to exploit others for personal gain. This will eventually cause all non-regulated anarchies and/or non-regulated capitalistic societies to eventually lead to monopoly, de-facto dictator, and general bourgeoisie vs. proletariat society, followed by revolution. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
