Benny, you said, ”You guys sure arent open to other's opinions. Just like the Wild West. Yeh-Hah! No wonder so few others want to join in.”
I believe many of us are very open to others opinions, in fact one of my deep rooted beliefs lies in the belief that everyone deserves an equal opportunity to chart their own path in life. What others think, what others say and what others do is for them to decide, not me. I believe the only thing that I am obliged to offer them is my respect for their rights to think and act differently than me.
However I am not obliged to agree, nor, should I be compelled to do something I fundamentally oppose.
This is why I will always oppose the CWB’s forced monopoly.
But I find it quite telling that you should hypocritically criticize others one sided thinking and insinuate that others aren’t open to others opinions. How open have the anti-choice people been to the Task Forces recommendation of creating a voluntary CWB II? The CWB BOD and any group or individual who supports forced collectivization were out the gates bashing the task force report within minutes of it’s release. How much time was afforded considering others opinions then? I’ll answer that one for you. NONE.
I’ll tell you this, if I were to have it my way, I would close the cwb down and make it so that nothing even close to resembling it could exist in this country ever again. But there are many others who believe a voluntary cwb can work, I also believe it can work, I have no doubt in my mind it can work. But I don’t think it should even be given the opportunity to work. I’ll admit that my motives are not pure here. I want restitution for the years of lost opportunity and the cwb’s eager use of power to lord over others. I believe it to be travesty of justice for the cwb to continue existing, in any form. But that isn’t my call to make and if others want to offer the cwb a chance to redeem itself once in competition, fine, I’ll accept it. But in no way shape or form will I ever accept a system that gives you the ability to take away my fundamental rights, like the right to own and enjoy ones own property as well as the right to freely associate.
That is something that is non negotiable with me and with a great many others.
