[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I think that to propose AC'ism in today's society and claim that it will be an improvement you need to lack life experience and insight into human psychology and mentality. [/ QUOTE ] This sums up exactly how I feel. [/ QUOTE ] Strange. People did fine 120 years ago in the American west. Not pure AC, but about as close as it gets. You think they've gotten that much more incapable? [/ QUOTE ] If everyone in the American West was doing so great before they had a state, then why did every territory form a government, and eventually become an American state? [/ QUOTE ] If <insert horrible virus> is so bad, why do people get it? [/ QUOTE ] Great analogy, b/c of course, people choose to get viruses.

Re: Reactions to AC
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] If everyone in the American West was doing so great before they had a state, then why did every territory form a government, and eventually become an American state? [/ QUOTE ] Because everyone voluntarily decided to submit to territorial government rule and then federal government rule. Oh wait... [/ QUOTE ] I'm pretty sure that by the 1880's, these territories were falling over themselves to become states as quickly as they could.

Re: Reactions to AC

People did fine 120 years ago in the American west. Not pure AC, but about as close as it gets. You think they've gotten that much more incapable? [/ QUOTE ] They did great -- wiped out most of the buffalo and other animals, used force against any Injuns that got between them and any shiny metal they were after (sure, they used govt help in this matter, but they were the drivers), and persecuted those who didn't have enough hired guns to defend themselves. Utopia.
