So, uncomfortable subject but, what about leaders and how to enforce rules? The anarchist in me would like to think that we could do without either, but the realist in me (who has studied human nature and psychology) has my doubts. What form of governance if any? Councils with finite terms? What about rules and safety? Or situations where it is one person's word against another's? Just some things to think about as we contemplate the type of society we want and need!
