Hi TtC,
I had the curiosity and went on your web page. The story of the TRACE THE CIRCLE I found it very profound.

Similar to you, at very early age, in my first years of school, I had encountered the first "existential" problem for me at that age.

I remember as of today that it was history class and that I answered very good at class and then another colleague answered but not so good. He needed often be helped by teacher, he was running in circles re-telling what he said again, in other words, for my colleagues I asked opinion and for me, was a mess. But the surprise come after, when teacher has been telling the marks as she was writing down in the log register. My colleague got 10 (from 1 to 10 marking system) and me 9. I felt so bad for that one, as when I went to teacher to write down my mark in my personal notebook (it was a special notebook pocket size as a small contact agenda, where the teachers writing down the notes and your parents must sign for acknowledgement). Asked her: Teacher why you gave me 9 and my colleague 10, when his presentation was worse than mine? She looked very shocked, such as how a small kid has the guts ask her about her decision, looked to me such thru a magnify glass and said: because he's dad is in the Parents Class Board and your parents are only workers. I was speechless. Went home and asked what is that? My parents explained me, that such and such parents, with higher hierarchy in society with "relations" and more money that can "help" the class get painted, or get waxed on their expense, etc, were populating that boards or counsels. And because the teacher should show somehow gratitude will recompensate by giving their children higher marks (at least that, by giving good marks, costed no money or other things).

And from that moment on, I was so marked by that inequity, that I felt that I have to fight with injustice and inequity in human society.
Not only that, but from that early age, I started to carefully watch the society make-up and the relations between humans.

So, TtC, I like this remark from your front page:

" Instead, you would gladly give up your freedom and rights to a small group of people who tell you they will act in your best interest, when, in fact, they do not."

Thus, in the radiant zone, I will not accept anything that pure democracy, I will not accept a minority to lead again, in some "boards" or something and whatever RZ I might participate in, will just be a free will cooperative of people "birds of same feather (as Carmen nicely put) with all people with equal rights and everything we decide or we construct the regulaments or guides, will be that from our own, not others. And that all of us build it together, just not someone might invoke he has more right than other because he invited us in his retreat. I would not want to feel as a guest, but rather a whole rights host!

And because of that, I do not want to foolishly trade the existent inequity society, that we live in, with another plagued same by inequity and injustice, but other sort.
