making the bus system competitive

It's the same for building sidewalks and multi-use streets. Small government should focus on setting standards, inspecting, and handling complaints. Development costs should be farmed out to local communities and the private sector.

neurotic trauma potatoes

I used to worry about the legal liability to me, of traumatised people going off and killing themselves. My mum said she might do it, if I burnt my cert on the stage at college graduation. I was too tired to argue and had already been waiting for two years to get out, so I played it safe.

Twenty-one years later, mum is safely dead, and I have met a LOT more people, with all sorts of trauma. I figure some of them are crazy enough to kill themselves anyway. What is my role in society? I can help them out a bit here and there, but I will deny active involvement in their self-extinction.

Each person carries the natural ability, and arguably a right to self-direction. A larger government than that, leads to all sorts of religious beliefs about right and wrong.

autoritarianisme dan bahasa

Masalah masyarakat autoritarian : ramai orang ingat perkataan ada satu maksud saja, hujah ada maksud tetap, dan sebarang lencongan ditebus seburuk saja ada kegelisahan. 

Tuhan? Satu je. Pikir lain tak bleh
Negara? Satu je. Ditto
Bangsa? Ditto
Bahasa? Ditto
Ilm al-ilm? Ditto
Cara hidup? Ditto
Pakaian? Ditto

Haprak la jiwa orang Malaysia.
