Dear Paddy and Richard, A lot of different ideas have been expressed here, but surely when we end up with "So the question seems to be whether I am projecting...
I'm very much in agreement with your general concerns Dick as regards putting over the socialist case. But I think there are all kinds of conditions of men...
LOL! No, I don't think you are some mad Maoist, Paddy. Of course not. I am just trying tease out some of the possible implications of what you are saying -...
Hi Meghann "I was simply stating that people are alot less likely to do something awful when there is a fear of real physical pain involved." So in other...
Well the Duke of Westminster is one of those that could do with a bit of that treatment. Perhaps we should try hanging out outside his 'house' subjecting him...

Marcos: No one denies that capitalism magnifies anti-social behavior, but surely you are not suggesting that socialism will cure each and every anti-social act...
It will not cure all of them, but it might correct most of them, in any way, we want to be like prophets, because nobody is able to produce a blueprint of a...

... Hi Byron The answer is simple, put he/she out of harms way in a secure psychiatric hospital and treat he/she humanely. What do you recommend? Danny WSM...
