To mandate morality?

If you haven't met Big Bad Bear @damianjayclay - then....you should.

You can find him over in the discord channels :The Writer's Block.. sometimes in Steemit Ramble and most recently in BuddyUp. He's a bear of a different variety every few days (right now he's a panda!) and he likes to listen.

He doesn't just listen, he hears.

Then, he takes the raw material that comes from your mind, spilling over your keyboard into letters, numbers and punctuation, and refines and polishes these items until they sparkle like diamonds.

What makes these diamonds even more special than the already rare jewels? The organic symbiosis of two separate entities becoming one priceless gem.

Priceless to me. Twice now :)

The other day we were all chatting about Steemit, (of course! Is there any other more valuable subject to Steemians?) and he scooped up a part of my conversation and held onto it until he saw me today. What a special "welcome home" gift for me! This particular #unintendedpoet piece that was #editedbyclay was regarding the recent talk of the return of some potential restrictions on Steemit that would hopefully curtail some of the bad behavior and rippling consequences that affect our Steemit world. Here was my response, shined up by @damianjayclay

Mistakes of Mandated Morality

You can't block

bad behavior.

You can only restrict

the obvious ways.

The sneaky people

will continue.

The honest people

will stop.

The honest people

aren't the problem.

It's like prohibition:

people will just make

moonshine in their basements.
