Are you talking about one single person, or are you talking about a group.
WC premises?Of course I talk about a group of people. A single person is suitable only for the WC premises. :2razz:
The social contract is often cited as the mechanism by which a group of people enter into a political association. I'm not sure I buy the idea either, honestly, as, like you I never signed no stinking contract.Social contract... hm, let's see, I don't remember signing one (sorry, Mr. Rousseau) . If I did anyway in my delirium, I'd like to retreat and renegotiate, make a new one. I don't want some big brother to decide my life without my consent.
WC premises?
Without the social contract, I wonder what the moral justification for the state is then.
Ahh, gotcha.Generally speaking, the toilet. :2razz:
Well, a contract has meaning only between sovereign and free entities, right? A contract with a gun pointed at your head might still be a contract but also has another name - blackmail.
For a democracy to be successful, a great majority of the people must participate. At this point in time, in our nation, only a too vocal minority are heard.Well, it's a forum democracy (not like the 'illusion of democracy' that we have in the political system today).
Like what?

The problem is, I do not like the tea party....For one ,they do not seem to consider "social well being" for all the people, including the minorities..
