: Just wondered if you had seen this. It might not be up your alley, but I was reminded of this by your posts. Anyway, I have enjoyed this string immensely.
: Thanks, Bill
I did. I was telling people about it at work yesterday. That is the perfect example of people based government and sustainable economics as opposed to the propagandized, special-interest, sedate-through-wealth culture we have here. I was so changed by the realization that life outside the US did contain civilization as we knew it, and that life outside the US/THEM national framework was a beautiful thing. People can create effective government, and healthy society, it just sickens me when people try to defend this society as the best of all possible worlds.
