I was always afraid an "ideal system" would be all politics and spying, and no sex! Would it be possible for you to grab a cucumber sandwich--and maybe give us an "ideal system" that has a bit of fun in it! ;)

Accomplishment is rewarded, but excessive accumulation is discouraged. How might that work? Seems like a contradiction to me. A system whose ultimate goal is sigmoidal distribution of wealth with upper and lower caps, not imposed by force but by structure. There is a bottom to which you can fall and a top to which you can rise. I'm drawing a blank on this one, too. No closed meetings. This one I understand but don't agree. It is one of those mom-and-apple-pie things (like merit pay) that sound great but just don't work in practice. Either nothing gets done or the public meeting is just a sham. Otherwise, looks promising. Karen
