Then we are agreed. The problem was your language - "... shift to an economy that is controlled democratically." Your words needed addressing, so I did, precisely because we are programmed to respond to words, and indeed words never do justice to actual experience - they are a phenomenal compression of it that leaves out the actual life referred to. So when we use words, precision is essential, lest our intended meaning result in attempts to 'democratically control the economy' - which, as you know, always ends in tears. Db

Sort:  

Unfortunately I don't ( and I do not know of anyone who) reads minds, therefore words are all we have to communicate our thoughts. It may take some time before we reach a point were we can agree however reach an agreement we must if we are to live in peace. And words are all we have.

Then we are agreed. The problem was your language

No we have not agreed because it's not my language!

P.S. notice of post here are the pits. 26 days later and would have never seen it if I didn't come back to this post for another reason altogether
