Re: Musings on Random Musings
(blodfacing mine) IT occurred to me that is sort-of like a social contract. If we all follow this contract then we preserve our common unity (comm-unity) and increase our chances of long term survival.
The second point, where the common unity sort of breaks down and we as a community face threats to our survival, my mind recalled the personage of Billy the Kid. He is to me the example (poster child) of a social system breaking down and not looking after a member who is now on the outside. In his case he threatens society for his base survival (eg stealing animals aka rustling). To me Henry McCarty is a misunderstood individual, not the savage outlaw he is portrayed to be.
