So now you're advocating slavery?
-------------------
You're merely trying to define employment as slavery.

Employment is only slavery if I don't have a choice as to
where I work and what I do.
-----------------------

Just as here and now: You can work how and where you want, but
the rest of us don't have to pay you!! Now: If you want to get
paid, then the rest of us have a big say in how and what you do
if we have to pay you!!

So as I have told you, you are not enslaved, but if you don't
cooperate with the society, you may not eat!!

Now, as in that Future: If you really want to make buggywhips,
you may have to learn to eat bugs!

Not only does the State determine where I live, but the State
determines what labor I do?
---------------------
You mean the People do, you just say "State" in order to try to
enflame knee-jerk rightwing scum.

Nope. "The People" aren't going to vote on every hiring decision, some
organization is going to do that. If that organization is authorized
to use coercion to enforce its decisions, it's a government.
----------------------------------

The People are going to vote on how much of what they all want done,
and so they will authorize those jobs and only those jobs to be paid.

Actually the People doing it is the same as the Market doing it,
since it is also out of your control.

Nope.
-----------------------------

Yup. Saying Nope does nothing contentful.

In a free market, I can seek employment with any of thousands of
employers, or attempt to free-lance.
---------------------------------

You can try, but if you don't do what some of them want you won't
get paid either. Same in My Society. The People will vote for what
they want, but they will want different things, and they will want
everyone to get much of what they want, and they will likely bargain
politically to get what each little interest or affinity group wants.

At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable, as all
spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic
and useless. Liberalism is a philosphy of sniveling brats.
- P.J. O'Rourke
---------------------------

Sounds like he's describing free men to the British monarchists.
Everyone who wishes to enslave people calls them brats if they
won't put on their chains like good little serfs.

At the core of P.J. O'Rourke is a whining little rightist piece of
crap who can't argue rationally about anything, which is why he is
a writer instead of a scholar. That way he doesn't have to answer
anyone's questions and can merely blather meaningless verbal insults.

No, wait a minute, some month ago I did see this fantastic documentary

about some sort of apes (don't remember what sort), and they had a leader.
(Because Darwin, ancestors, apes.. see the link?).
Anyways this leader REALLY had control, his own spies even, and some of his
women cheating on him, and the spies reporting that to him, upon which he went
to beat up the ape who did it with one of his women.
Man that REALLy was so human what happened there. But there also was a
different type of apes that were sharing everything (land) and living in
harmony in groups.
So I think you are both right, both systems existed even when 'we were apes'....
So perhaps it is better to have these systems co-exist, you should be free
to chose what you want and go there, but that system may not allow it.
Again I did read today that China closed 800 internet cafes, because of bad
influence on the youth.
Now I know they read us...
But this looks like surpression.
I used to say: Read the stuff, all stuff, like inocculation, you get stronger.
So this exposes a future weakness in China...
Hi guys, your leader sucks!

It is impossible to address the problem of rampant crime without talking
about the moral responsibility of the intended victim. Crime is rampant
because the law-abiding, each of us, condone it, excuse it, permit it,
submit to it. We permit and encourage it because we do not fight back,
immediately, then and there, where it happens. Crime is not rampant
because we do not have enough prisons, because judges and prosecutors are
too soft, because the police are hamstrung with absurd technicalities. The
defect is there, in our character. We are a nation of coward and shirkers.

Exodus! Movement of the Doctors

But the dissatisfaction in Canada goes beyond venting in surveys. Since
the 1990's, Canada has experienced an exodus of physicians. Their number
one destination? The United States and its much maligned healthcare
system. At last estimate, there were over 8,000 Canadian physicians
practicing in the United States. The vast majority have let their Canadian
licenses lapse, indicating no desire to return.

The plight and flight of Canadian doctors reached its peak in the
mid-1990's when the government tightened its healthcare budget and
physician reimbursement declined dramatically. And yet, although the
Canadian government has tried to reverse the trend by committing more
tax dollars to its healthcare system, physician emigration still jumped
by 68% in 2001. According to Dr. Hugh Scully, co-chair of a Canadian
task force on physician supply, the equivalent of two or three medical
school classes are leaving the country each year. It's a not a situation
that a country with too few medical students can afford to maintain.

Canadian Doctors Eyeing United States
Daily Policy Digest

Health Issues / Health Care Systems in Other Countries (Canada)

Friday, October 17, 2003

The residents of Windsor, Ontario, might lose two of their four
neurosurgeons if Drs. Siva Sriharan and Srinivas Chakravarthi move their
practices to nearby Detroit, Mich.

The two surgeons are sharply critical of Canada's health care system,
which features government-financed insurance for all, but increasingly
rations service because of shortages of technology and personnel. Both
doctors say they are fed up with a two-tier medical system in which
those with connections go to the head of the line for surgery.

Many other Canadian doctors feel the lure of the United States these days,
particularly if they live close to the border:

* The supply of family doctors has increased at a rate lower than
population growth in recent years, a problem that is complicated by
an aging population and doctors seeking shorter hours.

* There was a net migration of 49 neurosurgeons from Canada from 1996
to 2002, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, a
large loss given that there are only 241 neurosurgeons in the country.

* Waiting time for elective surgery is growing across the country, and
becoming a hot political issue.

The brain drain of medical talent, particularly specialists to the United
States and is becoming a serious problem.

"Physicians across Canada are in an advanced stage of burnout due to
work conditions," said Dr. Sunil V. Patel, president of the Canadian
Medical Association, who attributed much of the problem to technological
shortages and the powerlessness doctors feel when patients complain about
long waits for treatment. "That burnout causes them to retire early or
pull away from certain kinds of work or simply leave."
