If a club or a society (let's say a neighbors society) would hire an engineer, they would also insist in being able to fire him at will. And that's a group of people. Besides if roughly half the people does not want him to do what he is doing that means that something's wrong with the project even if a tad more than half wants it. In that case in an anarchist society they would "secede"(?) and each half of the country (two new countries) would go the way it sees fit. You see, I never liked the fact that the north won your civil war, the south had a right to be independent and manage their states as they felt would be better. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
