[John Valentine]

Your writing itself shows why fighitng against socialist "thought" is so frustrating.

You start right out positing the concept of a "stable society". Poppycock! Such a thing has never existed in the history of the world and every attempt to create such a thing will result in the imposition of tyranny.

Why?

Because someone (and there will be no shortage of do-gooders willing to volunteer their superior moral viewpoint to this task) will have to define this "stable society" and start regulating the others in order to create it.

You can be certain that the regulators will always make certain that the regulated support the regulators in fine style; after all, they are doing such important work.

You can see how this develops. we have been tiptoing down this path since the 1930's and show little sign yet that we shall change course.

Especially as long as there are poeple out there still imagining that a "stable society" is a goal worth pursuing.
