Fear. =)
You can’t make someone do anything unless they’re dumb, confused, and in fear. Without that, a smart society doesn’t profit big business =)
Politics? Politicians think they make a difference by writing laws. Then the neo-con’s president just pardons the ones who break them =)
You have an opportunity to present a very impacting touching speech. in 48 hours.
Are you going to take it, or pass it up?
The ability to rule by hitting males in the face.
I think the one of the elements is for people to live in peace co-existing with each other. quite contrary to the real one…
Like all society it hasn’t really changed. There are two aspects:
1. Competitive existence, where the rules are that you should not get caught doing something that is socially unacceptable. This involves mostly the process of earning a living. Ideally this should be that you don’t offend your neighbour, but in practice this happens subtly all the time.
2. Giving relationships, where the above criterion no longer applies to friends and family. Here the individual will give as much as he has in many cases, for the well-being of his friend/partner/children/lover.
no politics is just a shell, they are education and economics, but the roots are in the family.
