btw, ive been here for 5 months, who is @Joe?

Also, I don't think you're getting the point here, Aussie. The script is the laws as they exist, and the form of government.

The people adlibbing are the talking head politicians and pundits that want to change what we're doing here.

You're one of them.

If you're saying the script is fine, then you're in support of a carefully crafted representative republic, not fascism.

Okay if the script writer is a law matter why wouldn't you just have the best script writer be the script writer ensted of just voting for one?

I mean...

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the script. It's award-winning.

Some might even say it's the best script in the world

Especially right now, it's the most powerful, moving script.

Despite the people off in the background adlibbing.

I don't support that situation. Why not just have the scrip writer write a scrip and the actors do follow it?

But this script is already working.

Why change it?

Do you see how you're the disruptive adlibber here?

I don't want to change the scrip if it's working so why would I let the actors who don't know about scrip writing change the scrip?

I don't know

Who decides if they know?

Fair question!

I mean you said let scientists and engineers decide

But who decides which scientists or engineers?

WIll the leader just choose a bunch of yesmen?

Or people who might demande he cede some power

Or just shoot them the moment he suspects them of plotting

Probably that last one, for sure.

Probably 3rd like is the goal, fourth line is inevitable, and fifth line...

Yes it is. I think the person that is good at writing then they should write stuff and people who are good at acting should be a actor it's that simple, people should do what they know and are good at.

But the script is already here

And it's working, it's great!

Why not defend the script that's working? Do we change for the sake of change alone?

If your saying that the scrip is a metaphor for the US goverment then it isn't working.

*several people are typing*

The script metaphor is not very good...I'd say it's like a playground with set guidelines, but people ignore the inconvenient rules

Despite the efforts of a VERY VOCAL group, it is actually still functioning fine.

So there are problems, and the people who ignore and make up rules make their OWN system

Killer's got it.

I think a better metaphor would be if the actors voted for the scrip writers.

And they fight for this system, without realising that if they had followed the original system, nothing would have gone wrong

^ ^ ^

stick to the damned script!

School shooting. Turns out, the shooter should've been in jail 20 times over!
