I agree, abuse is abuse and slavery is slavery, even if the slave is well kept, but as long as they keep the stomaches of their subjects full and their minds sufficiently entertained, none will act against the status quo.

The Ethical Planterian Party shall have one mission and one mission only :
Advance the ideals and agenda of Novus Ordo Humanae Libretas and nothing else. No more "Left-v-Right" or "Us-v-Them" paradigms as well as no more infighting between the faiths as that would have to be banned. All political parties would be effectively ended and revoked. All hate groups would be banned.

So under this new system I would not have the liberty to join a political party, or to start my own midget hating discussion group? Alcohol should be banned under this system too, alcohol makes people disagreeable and argumentative.edit on 11-4-2011 by cavrac because: (no reason given)

I am just not sure why you have the word Libertas in the name.
Liberty should be about the rights and freedoms of the individual, not "the will of the order be dictated by the will of the majority"
The words "banned" and "restricted" usually do not go along well with liberty.
If you want to start a movement that replaces the current corrupt system, that is fine, just don't try to sell it as liberty.

I don't recall saying anything about killing people.
You people just use the word liberty but do not mean it, you just want to enforce your ideas on other people.
You are no different from the people who are currently in control, and if you do not agree with someone you attack them and call them a troll. Because your arguments do not hold any weight.
I prefer the current PTB

Would you really want a Global Tea Party trying to impose their will whenever and however they can? Would you want racist groups being able to form parties?

I don't want any groups, including yours to impose their will on me, but I support your right to gather in groups and do what ever you want to, until you try to take away my rights and freedoms.

Libretas is latin for liberty.
Human liberty is dictated by the will of the majority of people and not by who is the largest campaign contributor.
This would also ban politcal campaigns, no money would be allowed to be spent on campaigns. Remember, when someone "gives" or "contributes" money to a campaign they are expecting a favour.

I am sure if you people were in control, you would send someone to silence me, because I do not agree with your almighty political Idealism.
You people do nothing for the cause of Liberty and are a bunch of hypocrites.
