From CGI member Mike:

********************************

I'm kinda thinkin' that there needs to be at least fifty or a hundred or maybe a thousand rules for life.

When it comes to the point that a people looses it's common mind all of the rules of behavior in the world won't make any difference.

Any successful community is based on a common understanding that goes without saying because it doesn't need to be said.

The American community is based on life, liberty and pursuit of happiness of the individual and by extension the group. Tomes and expositions from now until cannot encompass what must be known from the inside. What is known doesn't need to be said.

When rules of life become necessary death is the scribe.
