if diogenes was of sinope he was not athenian nor a greek..sinope is in turkey...

as far as a citizen of the world..well i guess he had no loyalty, no people, no sense of community, no love of tradition, no sense of gratefulness, and correspondingly no sense of sacrifice for kin

he thought happiness was a destruction of what he thought were artifical outgrowths of society.

of course he would masturbate in the city market

Wow?! I like poetry, prose and quotations...and particularly like Mr. K. I didn't know that would be cause for inciting arrogant smartassness.

I really wasn't seeking a solution for me individually. I've got a few really smart tech guys who spend all day, every day, keeping my stuff back behind firewalls (or whatever that stuff is called). So far, that has been successful. I think I may be one of the old folk who really don't know all this stuff.

I was mainly asking about this on a more global basis for the country. But nevertheless, it would appear it is much more difficult than I intially surmised.

No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

John Donne, Meditation XVII
English clergyman & poet (1572 - 1631)

I much prefer Donne's viewpoint to RK's.

I also think the idea RK posited in this thread is very much un-American in that it would inhibit free speech.

[However, that being said, I can't remember agreeing with RK on anything. And I think from his pointed posts against me, it is obvious he despises me. I think it is so sad to have that much bitterness.]

It would seem this is much more about your "Nobody likes me, everybody hates me" perception of yourself. Frankly, I don't think enough about you to despise you. Despising takes way too much effort.

Back in his days were was no Turkey and Sinope was at best an Ionian colony on the Black Sea.

And while he was (probably) born in Sinope, he was educated in Athens (by Antisthenes) and Athens also was the place there declared that he is κοσμοπολίτης / cosmopolitan / citizen of the world.

of course and while doing so he'd say: "If only it was as easy to banish hunger by rubbing the belly as it is to masturbate."

And the most exclusive High Dollar Hottie of his time -- Phryne (Φρύνη) -- would do offer her companionship for free to him, because she admired his mind.

Do you think that might work here?

Would you rather be a lion in captivity & live 24 years, or in the wild & live 10-14 years? Answer the question every morning; then look at your condition.

[Laurentius]

Currently I run a pretty good sized one; though not something really huge like comcast or verizon.

Yes, I have the technology to protect you.

But I shall not do so.

It is your job to exercise both freedom and responsibility.

Freedom entails risk.

Wanna be safe? Say goodbye to freedom.
