Somthing to think about. Free men don't need leaders. Despots do need followers however. History proves me correct on this. Any comments?

[goseminoles]

That’s deep.

[blackbart.223]

I did’t spell thought correctly. That wasn’t deep.

>>Free men don’t need leaders<<

If everyone is a leader then there are no leaders.

In any group, leaders will emerge in proportion to the group size and the needs of the group.

Human are social animals — to suggest there isn’t a hierarchy is to ignore man’s humanity.

How rude.

You already ate an h.

I did’t spell thought correctly.

Free men don't need dictionaries, but despots need to correct grammar and spelling.

"Human are social animals."

Don't you see that as a problem? I do. I don't belong to a herd.

A hierarchy is a construct, and without humans there wouldn’t be a construct...

"Free men don't need dictionaries, but despots need to correct grammar and spelling."

I will take that under advisement. My fingers are not working very well tonight.

[goseminoles]

Some are leaders and some are followers. Its the way humans are and they compliment each other nicely. Everyone has a role in society.

Yes you do. You can no more change that than you can breathe water.

[mamelukesabre]

A group acting as one, through the skills of a good leader is more powerful than an equal number of free agent individuals.

Therefore, if free men expect to remain free, they better be able to assemble under a leader to oppose the tyrant that commands a hoard of slaves.

It’s an age old conundrum. Think greek city states versus the persian empire.

"You can no more change that than you can breathe water."

Then I guess we are all in trouble.

[Vendome]

That’s right. Cuz I don’t want to be told what to do.

You are however the leader of this thread

[mamelukesabre]

BS

Society is full of “lone wolf” types.

[blackbart.223]

"Therefore, if free men expect to remain free, they better be able to assemble under a leader to oppose the tyrant that commands a hoard of slaves."

Only if they are able to see who is a tyrant and who is not. We don't have a great track record on that one.

[smokingfrog]

Can you imagine an army without any leaders?

In government, we do need leaders, but they should be the guardians of our freedom, not our overloards. We tell them what we want, and they are supposed to figure out the best way to do it. The clowns we have in Washington today don’t seem to understand that.

[mamelukesabre]

That’s what democracy, liberty, justice, and capitalism are supposed to do for us. it’s not perfect. But it works better than the alternative.

"You are however the leader of this thread."

I'm not the leader of anything but myself. I just tossed something out to ponder on.
