Re: No, I didn't look that up irst... but...
I think everything is biased. There can't be a piece of writing that isn't biased. Not possible.
So that wasn't my problem with the article you shared TW. My problem was innaccuracies. Let me just note down one of the innaccuracies. Quote:
Now go back in history. And see why the other democracies failed. And you'll find that it was because either the society tried to be fair all the time. Or it tried for equality all the time. As an individual, I demand fairness. I'm a libertarian at heart. But I can see the big picture. If the society is fair all the time, it will break down. Because you can't have a hand with 4 average sized fingers and one finger 3 feet long. (Concurrently, you can't have a hand with all the fingers exactly similar. A balance has to be found.) Oh - and if the constitution was perfect - it would never have required amendments. And as my fav humourist says: Quote:
You may personally not like it. But you have to understand that if the society doesn't try to balance itself by trying to bring equality some of the time, it will break down. Your passion is good TW. But you have to try to figure out how to make the best of things when the society tries to go the equality way for some time. Instead of spending all your energy in talking about fairness and just getting frustrated. The time for fairness will come too. Last edited by Ankesh : March 3, 2009 at 01:05 AM. |
