I fell into this reality where no perfect solution exists for anything-- just some solutions that are less imperfect than others.

Social animals will always find themselves in the middle of this Push-me-pull-you reality and the best we can do is use our whips/voices/votes to drive away from greater evil and toward greater good. It's a constant struggle, and the rules change beneath our feet.

Which just exposes the greatest irony of all, in that many individuals want their individual liberties protected-- by, of all things, a society that tends to gleefully [and stupidly] cede its collective liberties for the perception of security.

Least worst solution: move to desert island.
