Re: [s-d] [s-b] Proposal: For Landowners and Barons

[Tyler <wisety@xxxxxxxxx>]

Charles, you're for this? Oh, well. Most of your arguments seem to support
my points. "Look how well the Sock Corps are doing?" They're fun for sure,
but I wouldn't say they are doing all that great. Their Contracts don't much
inspire, they're almost identical. (Although Black's Contract is a
step toward diversity.) Now if you say that they could serve as a base for
creative cooperation and exploration, I would agree with you. But I would
chalk that up to the Incorporation rule, not the Socks rule.
The Sock Corporations, as opposed to other corporations, serve to earn a lot
of mack for their owners and thus inflate the economy. Like the Communist
Manifesto (if you've ever studied it, I think you know what I mean. It's a
well considered document.) this proposal serves one group of people at the
expense of another. In that case, it was the lower class who benefited,
while in this case, the upper.

You are right Charles, you wouldn't have to be a traitor (maybe just
misguided and/or whimsically fun-seeking) to support this proposal. I
shouldn't be flinging unjustified insults.

Glad to hear BP wasn't serious. Can we at least talk some more about this
before voting our equal suffrage away? It's quite a radical change. In the
original Nomic you would have had to transmute the Rule Changes rule to
mutable before you could do anything to it. The reason was to deter people
from making radical changes like this one.
