People on the left of the political spectrum often make the mistake of believing the world would be better if everything was guided by governments. People on the right of the political spectrum often make the mistake of believing the world would be better if everything was guided by businesses. Both sides are wrong. They mistake power for control. Power is the ability to make decisions. Control is the ability to prevent decisions from being made. What is the basis of your power?  Who and what are you able to control, and why? What do you have the power to do, and how? Who and what influences your ability to make decisions? Real democracy is about working together pleasantly to address the causes and consequences of unpleasantness.  Bullying is always unpleasant for its victims and must be stopped appropriately.    And all harassment should be regarded as bullying, as should all other unreasonable social pressures. But how should reasonable social pressure...

The process of improvement continues by maintaining appropriately high personal standards in every situation. The constitution of every society should be compose...
