How can you both stay home to protect your property and also go outside the home to work? You need to hire a wolf killer. There has to be division of labour and also specialist skills and professions.henry quirk wrote: ↑Mon Jun 06, 2022 2:08 pm B,
No.You want rule by consensus of whatever number of persons can personally get together and discuss what's to be done.
Yes.I presume you also want a great many local networks instead of a central state.
There's a helluva lot of domesticated folks millin' about. I'm not sure right now where the wind blows.Many (or most) would agree that it's best whenever possible to do without a central authority making laws.
I never anything along those lines.You are far too optimistic about human nature if you believe thieves, colonisers, and murderers can be controlled by networks of friendly neighbours.
So: shoot him and be done with it.Some bad man will come along and threaten to poison that well unless the farmers pay him safety money.
No. Each and every one needs to grow a pair. When the wolf is at your door: shoot it.Eventually they have to elect and pay a full time sheriff with a gun.
No. Grow a pair, arm yourself, deal with it in the moment.This is expensive so they have to amalgamate with other farmers to pay the sheriff's wages and build a jail.And so forth.
Not everyone can grow a pair as some are women, some are old, some are children, some are exhausted after their hard work There have to be special men who are brave enough and muscular enough to keep order. In the olden days such men were the high status people who guarded the whole community and rose to be the commanders, chieftains, and eventually the kings.
