Re: European Salon de News, Discussion et Klatsch (none / 1)

This format took me a moment or two to get, too, but once you start following it, it just becomes habit.

You can think of it as a regulatory scheme in which each person is asked to sacrifice a wee bit of freedom for a collective benefit that far outweighs the sum total of individual freedoms so sacrificed.

Cynicism is intellectual treason.

No problem. In fact, just to show that I'm a REALLY good ET citizen, I'll change my underwear before posting in the AM. Now THAT is a sacrifice.

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
