Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

1. Which moron subdivides land to run through a highway
2. Which moron designs a highway that runs right through the middle of a farm, with unless there's enimate domain. Either way, the moron urban planner is at fault here

Like I said, come at it from the other direction. Instead of assuming that this American West-centric situation is already the case, start out by presenting a more logical problem, and then offer the American West approach as one possible solution.Altmer Dominion wrote:I'm starting to have doubts about this premise, mostly due to the realization this is very American West-centric. Despite being a common occurrence and policy quandary 'round these parts, the situation comes across just foreign enough not to make logical sense to other readers. In a way, that's an indictment of the situation IRL, but definitely puts this draft in a bind.
