SC: My question then would be… for something like that to work you would still need some level of enforcement. Unfortunately that deals with the word force…

AS: Well, yes, but what happens is when this person says, “this guy is dumping stuff and its causing problems in the stream by my place.” The people that respond will be solving in an ethical fashion. But it might boil down to it. He might decide, “I don’t care. I’m going to keep doing this and keep dumping this stuff in the water.” And then yes, the people that care… and with the web let’s face it, this guy who’s water is being besmirched types to all his friends and family, “OMG, come look at this!” Anyone from all over the world can go look at the problem.

Probabilities are it will mostly stay local. If your sister says ‘hey there’s this problem,’ and you come over and look and say ‘oh it’s a problem’ even though you live on the other side of the planet, you can still vote this thing up.

As the problems get voted to s certain level, the awareness is spread by its moving up into the regional area. If it still gets no resolution…Now of course, without money anybody can travel anyway they see fit because they will have the wherewithal to do so. People who care can show up personally. Now we won’t be hurting or killing anyone, but we can confine someone.

If we have someone who it’s very clear is going to keep creating problems, lets say by murdering people, we can confine them indefinitely. It’s all a matter of ethics. Each situation is looked at on it’s own merits. This way we avoid things where a law that was meant to solve this problem, when applied in that situation is totally absurd. We see people saying, “Sorry but the law says…” and they stomp you into the ground. It’s like, wait a minute! Lets get this back off this legal track and onto an ethics track. What’s ethical here? Without ethics, the law clearly becomes the enemy. Ethics trumps legal. Ethics trump religion. Ethics trumps everything.
