Diversity in Behavior

Document received

which is why we should severely limit the power politicians have over us

article 8 and 9 are elections.

Violence is rare inside the tribe.

It is usually applied against foreigners.

Inside the herd, threats are enough, as the outcome of a fight is predetermined.

(page 112)

Violence and Intimidation are two very different things!

oh...wait...you were talking about people. And politics. My bad. 😄

sorry!

no you're not

as a matter of fact I am. Constantly.

To see all that potential wasted into what Tellmeg described so very well....shouting, name calling and violence.....

Ya. Im sorry.

Im sorry I didnt put up a better fight. I wanted to leave behind a better world.
