Actually there is a third option. Belong to an organization which
guarantees contracts not by force by by shunning. That is, if a person
fails to fulfill his contract he would be black balled by the
organization. The threat of subsequent loss of income (and reputation)
would probably have as much effect as our present system which only
seems intent on joining the thief in his thievery.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
