There is no point in arguing for a perfect person or a perfect society.
That kind of society only exist in fairy tales, heaven or Marx's..
If you have time read one more " The Selfish Gene ". I think there is a translated version.
Even an imperfect person can hope for a perfect society..
..
We moves the society forward, not trying to withhold it or moving it backwards.
If you did not record or acknowledge what has happened and record it as accordingly,
I really doubt the intention.
The important point of a free society is :
1. Are you free and being respected to voice your opinion, without being afraid of prosecution.
( Note: you must not mistaken this with libel, slander and malicious acts )
2. Will the government be limited in power by a written set of code. ( constitution being respected, rule of law being respected)
3. Are information free to flow ( freedom of press, union and masses )
Nope... I did not buy those magazines and newspaper, that is a waste of money. And I mock those who buy them or quote them
