And I am very glad we have so much technology that they have failed to overwhelm us — yet.
Because something can be done, it is most likely to be done.
The nature of man whether local or centralized, is what it is. This WILL be used for other purposes to take away our freedom.
Be sure you have the bigger picture here. There are no magic bullets to solve problems.
But as I said, we are screwed anyway because the laws are the moral code now, not our relationship with God.
“Again, technology is never a substitute for good management
(decision making)”
I would rather start off with mediocre management than work with antique equipment. It’s not hard to improve management if you have the will to.
The only exception is rebellious armies which need to be extra-clever just to survive.
“The nature of man whether local or centralized, is what it is. This WILL be used for other purposes to take away our freedom.”
That is a study of centralized power, not of decentralized power. We need to empower the states and decentralize federal power or we are doomed regardless of our tech level.
“... we are screwed anyway because the laws are the moral code now, not our relationship with God...”
I agree that faith improves morality. It would greatly help us if our church leaders go back to what Jesus and the Apostles said and quit dusting off their complex theology books and other sagely anti-spiritual works.
