Political philosophy

Welcome to the POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY THREAD!

Every one of the hot issue topics sooner or later boils down to a philosophical discussion about one anothers views about the nature of Humanity and the best way to govern our affairs.

This is where we can hash it out.

I admonish everyone (especially me) to keep it clean and respectful. We can discuss ideas without discussing each other, if you know what I mean.

Thoughts expressed in these forums are often more stark than the actual thought and intent of the folks behind them, and softening shades of meaning are lost in the translation. Please give everyone the benefit of the doubt!
