Ron,

I wish you well in your utopic endeavor Ron, but the eventual
outcome is already obvious to me: anarchy or dictatorship.

If you weren't seriously paying attention to my comments, re-read
those lines above by Bernd and JUERGEN in regards to the TC, which
is another "walled off kingdom" of sorts, and then re-read my
statements summarized here:

"[...] Birds of a feather flock together ...  Over time exclusionary
environments shift toward the majority belief of those in control
and discriminate against the minority.  [...] Freedom is founded
upon dissenting voices, openness, optional anonymity, and a
willingness to listen others out of respect."

;-)

Clearly, the TC wasn't accepting of dissenting voices.  The majority
did discriminate against the minority.  And, there wasn't respect of
of certain TC members or potential members.

The Japanese supposedly have a saying which says the nail which
sticks out gets hammered down.

German culture is extremely authoritarian and dominating.  It's
why Volkswagen employees followed orders to produce a vehicle
which would pass emissions and sell well in other countries.  When
communication is only one direction, it didn't matter that they
couldn't actually do so.

Hugh's only reality distortion is his incessant rants on
Ms. Rather et. al.

The rest of what he says seems sane, although sometimes radical.
