Dear Lurker,


In a country as vast as America it would take ten lifetimes of roaming from
city to city before a scoundrel would run out of strangers to defraud.

Call me an idealistic lunatic, but I really believe it's possible for large groups of people to live together without all threatening each other with force. I truly despise unjust violence SU.

I don't want to call you an idealistic lunatic -- How about unrealistic sap?
The material determinists envisioned Perfect Man and set out a plan for
perfecting the imperfect clay that confronted them daily. You merely posit
the actual existence of Perfect Man, and dream about a Republic of them. I,
too, despise unjust violence -- but I accept that it will exist for some
time and that I had better envision a society in which it exists if I want
to envision a society of human beings, and not merely figments of my
imagination.
