I'm your pal, Silverhorn?  I'd say I was touched but based on your politics "touched" applies to you more than me.  Just joking :).  You seem to understand there's a problem with the future society is heading for due to automation.  You seem to scorn some possible solutions, likely for no other reason than you disagree in general with myself and Lynn.  You don't seem fond of the notion of rioting in the streets.  So what do we do in your opinion?  What alternative do we have to being plowed under by a mindless rush to strip the cost of labor from the cost of production without replacing the very income necessary for people to make in order to consume products and services?
Liberals and Conservatives could actually have meaningful economic discussions if Conservatives would accept the fact that economic systems belong to all members of society and that it doesn't matter how economies are organized as long as they achieve the purpose of providing necessities for all.
