A few, I suppose...

To what degree are you leaning Socialist and/or Libertarian, then? These are very broad terms. Decentralized government? Individual property rights? Pro- or Anti- Capitalism? There are a bunch of point A's and point B's here, and many ways to get between them all...

What I think I'm hearing is that you are a reformist Socialist that believes that's the way to ease into a stateless, communal, utopian society, which is basic communist evolution stuff that I don't typically buy into. Libertarianism is pretty much too idealistic to ever be successfully reformed into an existant society, and your plan would be several orders higher in difficulty of implementation.

Maybe... Hmmm.... Maybe you could invent a machine that whomped everybody on the head in just the right way to make eveybody ten times smarter...

Think back to that trailer park. Build your ideal government for those folks, because they're the ones that need it most.

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
