Banquo, I suspect you are not a bad person. Don't take this as an attack.

But a lot of the seemingly good ideas you have been presenting lately would only work if you had despotic powers and rode roughshod over individual freedoms. Think Pol Pot. He took a lot of ideas that really looked good on paper and tried to force it into reality with the result that literally millions died.

That and you really need a course in mainstream economics. The Dharma and Greg alternative economies *can't* be made to work by someone not well grounded in economy in general.
