Just a Start

 

Lynne Sample Tricky area this: do, for example, we consider that parents have free will to, say, apply heroin to their children?

Or to use them for sex?

Or for prostitution?

This brings in Susan Currie's comments, above, along with Alan Stein 's helpful engagement.

Capitalism, like all forms of totalitarianism, is (seems to be?) a venue where everything is 'shouty black and white, yes or no!'

Chemistry has that to an extent, 'Is this an acid or an alkali?'

But, then, nuance, is introduced as adjectives 'Is this a strong acid, like sulphuric acid, or a weak acid, like vinegar?' Then is it Sulphuric IV Acid ('Sulphurous Acid' in the old days and at the start of my school chemistry) or Sulphuric VI Acid (or just 'Sulphuric Acid' at that time. And, even now, were you allowed to buy it!)

As to vaccination and 'vaccination' and the pharamceutical industry part of capitalism and the current events. Including Brexit, Afghanisan, the US Presidentcy, Israel, Trans 'Rights', 'Rights' generally . . .

And Susan's text above, 'You are so deluded it is becoming criminal.'

Then, Susan's rejoinder to Alan, 'Alan Stein I am referring to John's total anti vaccination stance.'

Every word, pretty well requiring debate . . . Or, better, discussion, 'deluded', 'becoming', 'criminal', 'total', 'anti-vaccination', 'stance' . . .

A Scots Archaelogist Niel Ferguson on YouTube has a small piece asking, essentially, 'Why is everyone going mad?'

Again, 'why', 'everyone', 'going', 'mad', 'is' . . . A richness of questions.

Which, incidentally, is explained in the sequel to 'The Spirit Level' book, 'The Inner Level' and by the biochemical consequences of inequality: income inequality as we used to say.

And which the plan for Co-operative Socialism #truesocialism is designed to sort out.

For sanity!

And love!
