You do realize that if I had ended my first post with, "That is why the NPO must be decisively defeated", I would have 200+ posts from angry Pacificans, right? And at the same time, I would be praised by some Karma members for my motivation.
My original intent was to present a scenario which would be somewhat controversial in order to stimulate discussion. What I got was a few coherent posts, like yours, along with a flood of disapproval, which is to be expected on the internet.
I may have presented some far-reaching predictions that probably won't come true, I admit that. Perhaps my premise was too controversial. Ah well...live and learn, as they say.
