Fair enough. However, do you believe in goals to strive for? As it is an ideal of sorts. Something to shoot for if we would all just play nice.

"Something to shoot for if we would all just play nice."
that right there is the problem, too many people shooting for an ideal....and getting shot.
the prophet Joe B covers this topic well ie how the shooters and shootees keep getting fed in the meat grinder for ideals that only benefit people with a completely different ideal and they aint even thinking about "playing nice".
carry on.

"Ancient Greek tradition of all the PEOPLE voting..."
Yeah, right. Apart from Carlin's point about the
demographics, anyone think the ancient Greeks
ever let ONE PERSON have a vote each ? Not if you
were a slave. Not if you were a woman. And I believe
there were some property owning qualifiers on the 'citizens'
who got votes, too, if memory serves. There was certainly
a restriction of Citizenship, in Athens at least, to men who
had done military service.

"if memory serves"??? how old are you??
so what you are suggesting we should bring back slavery and stop women voting and make military service compulsory - you are sick.

One can have ideals without being religious. It just involves ethics.

I am just going with the flow. Seems to work for you when you feel like it. I really don't take BabyEagle at face value, or too seriously, not while she's got this thing for old men.

Yeah Bee,
I have goals to strive for, but I don't have a clue what you mean by play nice, or who your speaking about.
As for majority rule, the majority is the mob.
That part has always been true.
All leaders down through time have known this.
