Quote - I'm anti-authoritarian by nature but in this environment I'm just not sure that depending on self discipline works.
Me too. But it wasn't self discipline I was thinking of. It was peer pressure. It may be a recognized evil among adolescents, but among adults it's what keeps us civilized most of the time. After all, it isn't fear of arrest that stops adults from shouting insults at one another in the street. It's the fear of the disapproval of their peers. Of course, some people are unaffected by that disapproval -- and they do shout in the streets. But most people succumb to it pretty quickly if the community is allowed to express it.
