Frederick and Paul,

I would suggest that we don't jump on opposing/countering thoughts such as those posed by PJ. His questions to your concept does have validity.

One definition for the Merriam Webster dictionary on the term Anarchy: c : a utopian society of individuals who enjoy complete freedom without government


Sounds somewhat similar to what you were discussing. I can see why PJ would have come up with the Anarchy thought. Based on what you were saying Frederick about the model of the Individual vs the Community - PJ is correct that this question would naturally come up by many "less than informed" individuals who fear new technology and what future ramifications it would bring up - IN THEIR PERCEPTION.

The response Paul and Frederick to these types of questions which PJ brought up cannot simply be dismissed by comments like Philisophical debating is not one of your strong points. If you all want to encourage a revolution, you MUST address these fears and misunderstandings.

If your the speck of dust on the end of a hair at the tip of a dog's tail, you wont get too far by demanding the dog to wag its tail. You must influence, reassure, and convince the dog that wagging its tail is good for it.

Get My Point?

PJ - Thanks for the valid questions that you brought up to Frederick's initial thoughts and concepts. They are questions that should be addressed if a revolution in the Internet like that which Frederick is describing will have a chance at success - no matter how initially irrelevant they might first have appeared.
