This leaves us all with mixed messages and morals. We have democrats, the christian coalition, and stock brokers to fill all three voices in the society. Each would have you believe that it's in their world view. They're all wrong. Hobbes had it right.
Absolute monarchy is the best.
Then I wouldn't be allowed to think about this and confuse myself with it, we wouldn't have the christian coalition, stock brokers, or democrats. Our society would be simple, life would be short, and people would probably still try to revolt. That's the absolute irony. Sentience brings with it the burden of stupidity. As soon as we are given a choice we break the rules.
