Wooldridge actually uses the term 'collective'. Wooldridge is in a panic. He's like the compulsive cleaner would argues flawlessly that if he doesn't clean, the germs will multiple and in just a few days cover the world and kill everyone. He's technically right, of course but doesn't explain why that doesn't happen because he's a fear-driven control addict pretending to be a loving, caring, compassionate person. In his desperate mind there is only one solution: everyone must give up their power of individual choice and obey the infallible, all-knowing collective.

That critique of my commentary lacked any reason other than name calling.  This is not about fear. This is about reality.  I research all my work. My commentary is spot on the money.  You cannot take one piece of it and disprove it. I am a reasoned, rational, logical and educated mind who has traveled all over the world to see what I write about.  You may lack the intellectual horsepower to understand what I wrote. In other words, a second grade teacher would have a hard time convincing you that 2 + 2= 4.  FW

Now, now, Frosty. Your critique of normnip's comment lacked any reason other than name calling.

There are approximately 2,425,600,000 acres of land in the United States. With a population of about 330,000,000 people, that's over 7 acres for every man, woman and child of the country. If you consider the average family being 3.5 people, that's like over 25 acres per family.

Now, when you consider that about two-fifths of the land is kept from the people, locked up by Government in the form of national parks, forests and wilderness lands, people are living just fine on the remaining three-fifths. This means that if Government simply opened up the rest of the land to habitation, we'd have room for another 220,000,000 people without any trouble at all.

It's fun to worry, isn't it Frosty? And it is so extremely wonderful to feel important by making a whole bunch of people worry about nothing. By the time there is any problem (if there ever is), we both will be dead and gone. And nothing we can do or say will EVER handle those future problems correctly anyway.

The people of the future will take care of their problems just as we take care of ours. And worrying about what we can't even understand clearly doesn't do anyone any good.
