RE: Walls Don't Work: AKA A World Without Walls
The country actually operated for a very long time (more than a century) with no IRS. The income tax was a form of taxation expressly prohibited by the constitution. So it can be done. Sales…

RE: Walls Don't Work: AKA A World Without Walls
If you can and have not already checked out G. Edward Griffith's " The Creature From Jekyll Island " as it extensively covers what happened in 1913 and a lot of the motives. I don't recall…

RE: Walls Don't Work: AKA A World Without Walls
I am looking through 1871. A lot of different things happened. I'll list a few. You can let us know which thing(s) you are referring to. Jefferson Long of Georgia sworn in as 2nd black…

RE: Walls Don't Work: AKA A World Without Walls
I'll have to look up 1871 as what you are likely hinting at does not spring to mind. Civil War era stuff comes to mind. I will look. It basically comes from 1913 when as @builderofcastles…

Can't flip a switch to change it. It is here. Pretending it is not is suicide. Do I think it should be changed? Yes. Yet flipping a switch won't change it. Though I also see communism…

This is true. There are other solutions with regard to the nation and walls. If the benefits of trespassing outweigh the consequences of being caught then you'll have a problem. Yet the same…

Yes there is. I do not recognize YOUR authority to decide what analogy exists or does not exist. There may be analogies you personally do not like or that don't fit with your own mind. That…

RE: Walls Don't Work: AKA A World Without Walls
A wall would not be necessary if the consequences of trespassing and invading were severe enough to deter illegal/uninvited entry into a country. If however, the benefits heavily outweigh any such…

RE: Announcing Steemit's New Delegation Application Process
Sorry for the late reply. I don't use steem that often anymore. Delegation is a problem for a couple of reasons. It is not the worst of problems and it doesn't have to be a problem. It just…

RE: Announcing Steemit's New Delegation Application Process
You could essentially do that by powering down or using steem earnings and giving them to someone you want to support. Delegation on the otherhand gives them power that they didn't grow, they…

RE: Globalism and the Hegelian Dialectic: Create the problem that encourages people to embrace the idea you want implemented.
Disagreeing with your plan is not chaos. Nice try though. I don't advocate chaos at all. I advocate a more voluntary based form of order where NO ONE has the right to force another if they are…

RE: Downvote Pool Deep Dive
It should be noted that iflagtrash just follows you and automatically downvotes you so it is not curating at all. It is just attacking.

False dichotomy. Many more choices than that. Globalism does not mean people will get the rulers and the governance they want. Tyrants love the concept of Globalism. It was a driving force…

RE: Poll: Flags or Downvotes?
That would work... though it would remove some incentive to invest and accumulate more steem power. Though it may be worth the trade off.

I was an advocate for no downvote for a long time. The problem is that opens the door to gaming the system worse than it already is. Those with high power can purely up vote and collude to only…
