Hierarcrhy

[MagnetMan]

Collectivism is most cultured
and therefor most peaceful
when deferring to elders
a natural measurement for acknowledging eldership
is anybody old enough to parent you
14 years

from 0 - 21 years
the hierarchy within the larger hierarchy
is three years

deference to elders
ensures reverence for ancestral effort
creates a the right atmosphere
for civilized debate
and engenders a fair hearing
for young ideas

sure, MM.
everyone loves to have another to look up to rather than the unspoken \!! contempt our collectivism developed from all manner of corruption that has befallen so many of us.

it is not until individuals realize they cannot trust even their closest family members or friends sufficiently that it might dawn on them what the fables of our ancestors were meant to reveal to us in a time of such widespread need as today.
