Hydrosun: Explain how you came to the conclusion that I'm advocating anything. I am just telling Senior Buzz that his idea about councils of stakeholders creating locally viable business models to compete in the new marketplace is sound, but in the world we live in, only playing big money politics is going to get you a seat at the table.
You really should work on context a bit more before posting. Not every statement in a discussion is taking a position that you have to jump up on a soapbox to refute with slogans.
I can tell you feel very strongly, but you're regularly missing the points people are trying to make. Deep breaths, brother.
I thought you were advocating because you said. Something to the effect of "That is a good idea." "it is called (some noun I can't remember)." "After that is done it is time to lobby."
If I misread the post I am sorry, but I still hold to the point: I am a free born man with complete dominion over my body and property; lobbying anyone is an abdication of my rights and presupposes some ISM or groups of elites has the power to dispose of my body or labor.
I'm not trying to twist anyone's ideas. I do respect everyones right to an opinion however I can not respect anyone who claims the right to regulate / control / enslave their neighbor.
I'm taking my deep breaths, I hope ICmagers will at least think about the moral implications of telling their neighbor what they may or may not do on their own property.
