Valid points - suggesting that, the obv way of coaching

Post #79,325 by Ashton 2/4/03 7:03:26 PM Reply	Valid points - suggesting that, the obv way of coaching those with little experience of self government, is that there finally be a planet-wide University, whose proctors may spank. No Special Buddies who are exempt from self discipline. (Natch the nukes would have to be taken away from all the kiddies.. OOoooohh what a loss of personal freedom.) The end of the rich schoolyard bully / or the rise of the University as Gort? (WTF did you ever get the idea that this stuff was so easy you could solve it with some stupid slogan or rote formula? Nintendo Basic?)

Once again, you're guilty as you have charged. P.S. I never can quite be sure when you're kidding.

(when you are at least honest enough to admit that you have a tendency towards such) ? Gort the robot was of course - the Deus-ex which fills in for any homo-sap having yet a very good idea of how we save ourselves from ourselves. The dilemma may not be answerable, but the Q is as valid today as in '51 - the UN was a start, as was the powerless League of Nations.. all indicating that 'we' realize we have a Problem. But we are not yet ready for self-government, it appears. Only Nationalism, My Clan vs Your Clan and the usual cant. You got a better idea for survival of the species VS the ~50K nukes + our hysterical habits of brandishing same? Any original thought at all? (Much of the world's gabbling is just as stupid as our repartee here, and has remained so, like a fly in amber) Ashton
