People are not babies. Information and the knowledge of good and evil is not to be
regulated. It takes more intellect to take the high road and rule by knowledge than
by brute force. Violence is for the lazy and cowardly and as such should be relagated
to the inferior vermin scum. Humans have gnerally been too stupid as a species to use
the resources of the planet to move forward. Leave the past in a holodeck or video
game but keep reality progressive.
