*** I don't see how such statements can be implemented in practice. Who would state them? Where? How would they be of any use? How would they be enforced? Also, about this particular statement, I find it disowns people by force of what they believe today to have ownership of, which in a way is forcefully imposing on them, just like Communism does with nationalisation of private property. I don't believe this is an attitude conducive to a global adoption of a RBE system. | *** I don't see how such statements can be implemented in practice. Who would state them? Where?
