wall_rus: the quote is but a reflection of one brick of my philosophies. A constitutional republic protects the basic rights of both the wolves and the sheep. The question of the township of wolves or cannibals does not seem to draw answers for the touters of democracy.
Slow starters takes on many forms, but I'll address the most obvious, for me. The marxist concept and plank of public schooling does not advance the slow starter. Having worked with children in a home school environment and tutoring, most were considered "slow." Almost all of these children were kinesic in their primary learning mode. Society relegates them to Ritalin, etal. Public schools refuse to group kinesic children together and let them play and sing. They must sit still and be detached from their primary mode and submit to the assembly line made for the visual and audio mode children. (Lest a reader think that I show favoritism, I am acutely visual in my primary learning mode.)
In a truly free society, the strong, out of voluntary goals, carry the weak, until the weak are then strong. This was done for centuries among quite a diversity of peoples and I often saw it in the parts of Africa that I frequented.
Still I say, let us remove the crutches and my brother shall walk. If he truly can't, then I will carry him. Just don't put a gun to my head and tell me that I have to do it. I'll then be looking to put something against your head.
BTW, you went too overboard with your wolves analogy, as wolves do not horde food. One man's sheep is another's wolf.
"When in doubt, empty the clip."
