We can probably learn something from history.

I want to say something mind-numbingly intelligent, but I'm just not in the mood.

While the initiative is surely well-intentioned; the roads to hell are paved with good intentions. Any group that rises to engage in contructing policy enforceable on the free population as a whole are just deluding themselves.

This is a participatory society -- the politics and beliefs of individuals cannot usurp the commons here. If there is one thing we HAVE to share (if anything), it is our freedom. This is OUR world. OUR possibilities.

Unless we're talking about implementing a way where the entire populace controls it's own destiny, individual groups of concerned citizens are just going to be a fad.

I'm not surprised this is starting to happen. It gets my skin up as any vw that has gone through this has ended up a husk of its former glory. However, IMO it is inevitable that this issue surface.

I'm just curious to see how LL and we as residents of SL will step around this. It's tricky waters to be sure.
