Couldn't the wrong people take advantage of this and cause harm?

The "wrong people" can already cause harm. As Mark Twain said, "A lie travels round the world while the truth is still putting on its pants." Empowerment is for all people, and the good should outweigh the bad. If Empowerment turns out to cause more harm than good, we will of course reconsider. There will also be legally obligated restrictions on user behavior to comply with the law so that a few law breakers don't ruin things for the many law abiders.

Doesn't empowering everyone just feed the cycle of conflict?

"A common slogan is that "What you resist, persists." Truly spiritual people are never supposed to be confrontational or adversarial — that would be perpetuating an unevolved, "us-them" dualism. I don't know from what spiritual tradition the "what you resist, persists" slogan originated, but I often want to ask those who blithely repeat it, "What's your evidence?" When it is so patently obvious that what you don't resist persists like hell and spreads all over the place. In fact, good, strong, solid resistance may be the only thing that stands between us and hell. Hitler didn't persist because of the Resistance — he succeeded in taking over Germany and murdering millions because not enough people resisted."

The FAQ Questions.

I believe that each of the three questions are begging the question. Inside each question is a suggestion which suggests the refutation of the question, in any answer. Secondly. "Doesn't resisting just feed the cycle of conflict?" There has to be a cycle of conflict in the first place. If you or your friends are the original source of resistence, then you will probably be the definers of how the conflict is shaped. Not exclussively, and not forever. Change is the closest thing to a foregone conclusion that I'll believe in when discussing human social systems. Lastly my normative statement. Resisting may indeed "feed" the conflict's cyclical nature, but at some point as an individual you really ought to start drawing qualifying lines, the best quote I can think of is, "Unless were free, the machine will be prevented from working at all." But sadly, I can not recall the speaker. -Sliding Letters

Well said and I couldn't

Well said and I couldn't agree more, because I see Hegelian solutions to problems emerging from both sides. There's a creepy aspect because it suggests that some elite forces may be playing all sides against each other to get what they secretly want anyways, but from a sane perspective it seems like procedural reforms like democracy and journalism have yielded more good than prescriptive impositions of narrow ideological systems.

If you know how the insurance companies think, it will be easier to present your home in a way favorable to your insurer. Here are a few tips: 1.Check your credit: Did you know that insurance companies in Arizona have the right to check your credit and use that information in determining your insurance rate? According to insurance company statistics, credit rating is a good indication as to whether or not you will submit many and large claims. They have found that policyholders with poor credit tend to put in more claims than policyholders with good credit. 2.Seek discounts: If you are a member of a professional association, you may be entitled to insurance premium discounts. Some companies offer credits to senior citizens 55 and over. Ask your insurance company which credits you may qualify for. 3.Do not insure the land: In the event of a total loss, the land will still be there. Do not include the value of the land in your policy limit. Remember, the insurance company’s goal is to help you to return to a pre-loss state. If your house burns to the ground, remember, the ground is not affected. 4.When you find a company you like, stick with them. Insurance companies reward their loyal customers in the form of credit discounts.
