Milton -

I will return again to the idea of representative self government. It may be accurate to call both of our motives for voting or advocating as we do selfish, but I am the one suggesting that the voice of the people, and the concerns of the larger community deserve to be heard. I hardly think that qualifies as the "more selfish" approach. Unless, of course, you define selfish desires as any desire other than Milton's desires.

And again, I do not demonize inanimate objects. What I do is recognize each object's intended purpose and it's tendency to enhance the lives of humans versus it's potential for harm. Each object must be judged on it's individual potential in each area. I think my assesment is the more sound.


All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?
