Quote:Originally posted by SignyM: There's income distribution and per capita GDP. Not the same. If you have a very even distribution of nothing, it's still... nothing.

Quote:Originally posted by Fremdfirma: People don't comply with the rules cause of the threat of force, hell, everybody and their cousin knows most "traffic enforcement" is nothing more than revenue generation, and often as not even the damn cops doin it admit that. People do so because if you do not, IT JUST WON'T WORK - and everyone knows it, look at how pissed off folks get at someone who refuses to shift right because they're travelling much slower than the flow of traffic, yes ?
Quote:Originally posted by Fremdfirma: Secondly, and this is the more important part, there seems to be this concept that without a gun to their head, folks are incapable or unwilling to obey rules which exist SOLEY for the benefit of the community as a whole, which make sense and have a valid reason for being in place.
Quote:They'll wind up living in a cave outside the city, alone, with no one willing to associate or trade with em, instead of on top of the heap like they are here.
Quote:People do NOT need a gun pointed at their head to cooperate with each other
