Hard not to come at this cynically. I mean, the world was always fucked up. We look at how fucked up it is now but old books tell us they used to burn your ass if you let your ankle show and you missed a day at church or theyd whip you to death for trying to read a word if you're the wrong color. And pyramids and crusades and all that jazz. Idk. Seems like there are the fortunate few and a lot of narratives for everyone else whilst their getting their teeth kicked in

@DanielChristensen So do we follow a code of Hammurabi to establish order... or follow mainstream today of what ever happens.. happens

@MikefromEP That's a good question Mike. The rule of law is as imperfect as everything else, but what can people do other than nothing or try and law is at least an imperfect attempt to curtail really awful shit. If it's law or chaos or apathy, I'll take law. We're always or at least often faced with a handful of shit choices or none at all. Guess I'll take the handful of shit choices. Haha

@DanielChristensen I take morality. Non violent version. I understand your view in sooo many ways that can not be counted... But when it comes down to the moments..who pays the price...

@MikefromEP Absolutely. People choosing to do what is right would be the ideal and that works for the most part. I think most people are just trying to get from one day to the next.

@DanielChristensen And a smaller few are trying to help people do this
