reciprocity

Such a simple concept. Such a difficult idea to put into practice. The "Social Contract" - of Hobbes and Locke - is as good a place to start as any other. Every jot, each iota of power that the state and business has over individuals is power traded voluntarily. They may always seek to impose their will by force majeure. But the moment they do so is the moment all moral authority ends. Along with obligation.
