<< The problem with Socialism is that it operates from premises that are simply not true. >> Picky, picky, picky, Solon~! <<The Evolutionary model is working for the human race.>> That's almost a tautology, isn't it? I mean, the human race is what it is because it evolved to be thus, and it evolved to be thus because it is what it is. Evolution has worked to produce an amazing species, but for individuals, the workings of evolution has been --is-- horribly cruel. Lather.Rinse.Repeat described that cruel mechanism ("cruel" being a figure of speech, since it happens not by intent)beautifully some time back, and I saved that post someplace but can't find it. The huge question that hangs over everything is how human nature and free enterprise are going to respond to the global environmental crisis in a world in which resources are so unevenly distributed.
