What is absolute democracy? What is relative democracy?
Explain why you oppose elections. Even if we grant that community
standards was what the original settlers were trying to escape, this
was only to enable them to set their own community standards. Those

In your case, it does. You believe that all one has to do is carry a
basket and pick up "truths" lying around on the ground upon seeing,
hearing, smelling, tasting, or feeling them and put them in the
basket. From time to time, one may go to the Theory Pond and pick up a
Theory.
That is false, and saying it doesn't make it so.

That would be interesting. This is just watching

Right after you address my point. Is it not
"more correspondent" you're talking about?
Is that synonymous with "objective"? If not,
how not?

I don't know, perhaps to fake the ability to create an intelligent machine.
It has been attempted in the past, where a person is actually operating
(behind) the 'robot', and it is not the machine itself acting. The question
assumes that either a machine is acting like a human, or a human is
pretending to be a machine (capable of acting like a human). If not, why

This country was based on the attitude that the people come before the
government. Maybe you should move to a desert island and start your
own dictatorship of one.
The Constitution was not based on political correctness, there was no
such thing in 1776.
It is not a violation of civil rights to willfully hire a white male
