Other than for yourself... HELL NO! Don't try to impose your choices on me.

What utter error, Bruce. It isn't my Utopia -- it's not a Utopia at all. It is proven, in action, every single day, by three hundred million Americans, rather fewer Canadians, and so on and so on. You shouldn't be wandering down that path. I concern myself with mankind's best interest, which is not, of course, to be found under a dictatorship's thumb. There, you find only the dictator's interest, all others at best underserved. Recall that I have personal experience with the way dictatorships behave. That is why I'm such a partisan for democracy, for societies that operate more by consensus.

Oh, you get to decide what's in, "mankind's best interest"? Well, I don't welcome our "mankind's best interest" overlord. So, no thank you.
Sure you have experience in dictators, you are one.... or at least want to be, in the determination of "mankind's best interest".

Do you mean Cain? I don't recall any with-or-against from him.

No, he just killed anyone that pissed him off.

I am pleased, though, to see we agree about "moral equivalency" -- some societies simply do better by their members than others, and the respective properties of either are readily enumerated. Any need to guess which one is worth living in? Any need to guess which needs immediate and complete replacement? A democrat isn't a fascist, and you must withdraw your erroneous statement. Never call me a fascist unless you haven't lied enough today. In other words, Bruce, no idiot-talk today, please.

See, there you go telling people what they
must do.... again, still, ad nauseum.... that's what fascist do. I'll withdraw nothing.
OK, you win. you're not a fascist. I'll try to remember that when you waddle, quack and lay big fat eggs.
