Yeah, you're probably right about that, and I also think it wouldn't be possible. Still, we could hope for it, or something at all that would properly deal with it :) ...which leads me to...
@InsaneApache
I know what you're saying.
I'm no historian, or "qualified" being, but it seems that the separation of Church and State demoralized people. I'm not really religious, and the Church hasn't really been such a good honest entity either throughout history, manipulating people in bad ways as well as good ways, but I DO think some parts of religion are good to follow. For instance: certain virtues, "rules of living," etc... which leads me to my response below...
@SpetulhuIt's social control out of control. The authorities are there but those with the right knowledge (law) and right qualifications (being female) can easily get the social workers on their side. Just say the right things and don't turn up drunk when meeting them.
...So perhaps the Church must have bigger influence like they used to, or some form of it? Maybe the Church should control social control? I don't know, I'm just brainstorming :P
-edit- Just read Adrian's post.
Possibly right, but what if with some kind of authoritarian approach we would change people's morals, and future generations would not be bothered with these issues of control, power, etc.? Man, I'm just thinking... if we can achieve something like that, truly good moralistic societies, then do you think our base human instincts would still come back?
Ah, my wish is far-fetched![]()
