I strongly disagree. All primate species are hierarchical. This includes
homo sapiens. If there are cultures which are not hierarchical, THOSE have
come about do to learned behavior. Hierarchical structures have survival
value in nature and reproduction. Since we don't live in the jungle or on the
Savannah anymore, it is no longer necessary to accept hierarchies as a way of
life. But the tendencies are still in us, and come out in many important
human endeavors like the military, and making money ( the modern equivalent
of food gathering ).
The solution is not denying that hierarchy exists, but to rotate the positions
of power democratically.

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
