I've seen a lot of people spend so much time talking big game that they never had time for anything else, and 5 years later they're still... talking.

Not a fate I'd wish on anyone.

As you say, it's my choice to agree/disagree with you. And believe me, every visit here makes me thankful that I have enough intellect to get my opinions from somewhere other than a cannabis website. Share away, be the revolutionary prophet of cannabis.com if you want. But maybe you could take some time and do some revolutionary work in the real world. Where we so desperately need it.
I'm so very tired of people thinking they do they're part online.

I've never questioned your passion Penguin, only your motivation. If you truly think that all government is flawed, that it's all a matter of gangs and rules of force, then what's the point of revolution anyway?
Just to be on top? Just to be king of the mountain and make the people under you suffer for a change?
I hope you'll continue to grow and see other revolutionary possibilities.

Fight the good fight, and make sure its worth fighting for.
I didn't say I plan on being in power and controlling everything and making those who are under me suffer. If, and it's a big if, I ever do get enough power to carry my wish out, I will relinquish my power as soon as it's over. Power doesn't appease to me in the slightest. I don't want people peering in to my life just because I'm so famous and they don't have better shit to do.

My opinions do come from other places than this website, and although I haven't had the years you have had to develop them, I'm pretty confident they won't change much.

But, we'll see. And Polymirize, I love your use of the Socratic method and other things you undoubtedly learned in your philosophy class. You're driving me to go out and do these things instead of bitch and moan.

The point of the revolution wouldn't be to rule the people with a different government. My government would be a democracy when it comes to public works, but the law is simple and plain. As long as you do not take from another person's freedom or do anything to mentally/emotionally/physically harm another person, you're good to go. I don't know what the "punishment" would be, because I don't see how you could punish someone without taking from their freedom, thus breaking the law my government would revolve around. I'd probably leave it in the hands of the victim or their family. I know there are flaws in this, but I have a long time to try and work them out.

P.S. I never claimed you challenged me on history...Either you misinterpreted my words or I wasn't thinking strait. Either way, I know you weren't challenging me.
