Entry: The Wrongs of "Rights" Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_wrongs_of_rights#7583 Post contents: @Keith By your answer I see that you in your design for a perfect society manage to forget the state of childhood, which is based by extreme dependency on one's elders and enforced obedience. Of course, the girls were underage, but udner the authority of their parents, who gave them in marriage and expected obedience from them, with punishments provided if they did not obey. So were the young boys, expelled on diverse pretextes, but leading to a situatin in which hey could not compete sexually wih the older men who ran the show. Is there a mecanism in your utopia to prevent parents from making bindinng decisions on the futgure of the children? Any mechanism that prevents child abuse? That prevents incest? And if they happen to control a valuable resource, the rest of the other groups would just look away. I mean, look how tender ther are of Saudi's succeptibilities.... Sorry, your utopia would only work if humans generated spontaneusly in their thrites, did not grow old and feeble, and turnd to dust on their eightieth birthday. Sent at: 2008 07 08
