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!

BEFORE taking another human life!

BUT NO BAN GUNS

Of course, this isn't always a bad thing, since some systems are oppressive and destructive

Oh hey, man with gun dishonorably discharged from air force BUT NOBODY TOLD THE FBI! Now he's murdering a church. NOW HE GOT SHOT BY A CIVILIAN WITH A GUN

BUT NO

BAN ALL GUNS

If the scrip is a metaphor for the US goverment then you need to make how they work similar.

I did.

But...In a system that isn't set up to do so, and offers ample opportunities for anyone to climb the hierarchy, it doesn't make sense that instead of enforcing the law, people want to make their own law
