Ad hominem attcks are stupid. Other than that I agree with Moros here. The reverend has made many posts which made loads of sense to me. This wasn't one of those.

Rev, perhaps it is your line of work (are really a reverend?), but you have much more faith in your fellow man than I do. People have the capacity to be industrious, fair and peaceable. However it isn't the societal structure that brings out the opposites of these fine traits. The capacity to be lazy, greedy and aggressive are just as natural. They aren't symptoms of a bad social arrangement. They, like our good traits, are simply who we are.

To each his own but I would not welcome social anarchy.
