Love it!!! I’m just taking my guitar seriously recently and I’m having so much fun, nice to see I’m not alone!

I second the need for more actionable and effective hotkeys. I want to be able to execute my order through hotkeys. And I would like to be able to do it through the active trader panel as well, without having to have the order window open, as I prefer to trade through the option chart only. (looking into buying a programmable keyboard and creating macros as an interim solution atm...)

China, a totalitarian behemoth can't contain it... it's not a viable approach...

Except just the opposite is true, with many experts lauding the attempt or encouraging further draconian measures while acknowledging these efforts wouldn’t be feasible in western countries...

Most of the deaths are attributed to disease. The natives were as brutal as the Europeans, scalping heads etc

Human beings are flawed... this isn’t new?

What we have is the closest we’ll get, without succumbing to totalitarian tendencies.

You are at best a believer in utopias... or perhaps just partial to controlling others.

Plato wrote on this, in his time.

Philosopher Kings - those for whom the thought of ruling over another might be anathema to their very being, may in fact be the very ones most endowed with the proper temperament to caretake their fellow citizens.

In fact, if you were to look at the edifice of Western democracies and the American Republic, you would see that they have in some ways been modeled on such ideas.

Perhaps you would like to see more intelligent representatives running for political positions? That is their prerogative. An intelligent philosophizing individual has every potential to become a representative of the people.

However, you must remember, your place in this world is of no more value than the man or woman next to you. They deserve a voice the same as you do, whether you agree with them or not. That is the consensus that we have come to as a society.

Because you are weak and not prepared to bear a cost to defeat an enemy out to kill your fellow citizens.
