Well, in a sense, *any* system will work if all the participants go along with it willingly. The problem isn’t the system(s). The problem is humanity. It’s just unperfectable, simple as that. We’ll all be better off when people realize that you can’t judge a system by how well it would work if humans were so perfect as to not need it anyway. You judge a system by how well it works WITHOUT 100% participation.
I think her defense of islam is like the left’s defense of communism. Its just hasn’t been implemented but the right people.
Yes, I agree. My point is, a system that only works when implemented by the *right* people is a bad system. Because *right* people are few and far between, and tend to grow old and die anyway, to be replace by more *wrong* people.

Heh. It’s hard to tell in this medium.
I liked your explanation - thanks. Also scanned some of your comments - are you by any chance a non-church-going former Unitarian?
Leno’s wife uses Charmin to clean around holes in her garden.
No! I am a theistic, former Christian. Although I considered becoming a Unitarian about forty years ago, I thank G-d that I did not, considering that they have become more of a social(ist) club than a truly divinely inspired religion.
Does Jay Leno’s wife have that brain dead ‘Stepford Wife’ look? Her understanding of the Bible AND Koran are grossly deficient. She opens her mouth and confirms she’s stuck on stupid.
She looks like a Nancy Pelosi clone.
