What I am saying is Principles without Actions is nothing.
Basically what was happening when I arrived in this Forum, except for Ray who had taken the weight of Zeitcoins on his Shoulders alone while others in here Bicker about actions but make none.
Actions need to be guided by principles to make Change in our world.
I agree with this statement. Actions do need to be guided by principles. And this is why I suggested in a post yesterday, which got completely ignored, that we need to lay in advance the framework for what our principles are going to be.
But what you need to realize is that the future knights have not even been added to the round table yet, and some of you want me or Ray to state what all of their principles are going to be, do you see how silly that is when none of us even know who the other knights will be.
No one is asking you or Ray to state what all of the Zeitknight's principles will be. As stated above, what we want is to have laid out what the CORE of our principles will be. That can and should be laid out before the counsel is put into motion to avoid having this coin fall into disarray by having new member come in who do not support our core principles. The core principles need to be spelled out, and all members and future members of the counsel must by willing to stand by those core principles. In fact, that should be one of the requirements for being on the counsel. Otherwise, Zeit will become corrupted, there will be tons of in-fighting among the counsel members, and Zeit will fall into ruin.
It is sad in this world that concept is so hard to get across when it should be apparent.
The only thing sad about it is that you feel the concept is lost on some of us. It's not. It just seems to me, as an outsider looking in, that there are some who seem to feel they should have a bigger voice in the direction the coin is going than others. Now, this is the perception, and hopefully that's all it is and that perception can be changed sooner rather than later. But it seems as though some people say, "We're gonna do this and that and that's how it's gonna be." Were as there are others among us, as Ray pointed out in his recent post, that have made suggestions that have been totally ignored. He mentioned a post by fxtronic that got ignored. Atronite just made a post that, as of my typing this, was totally ignored. The post I made yesterday about laying out our principles in writing ahead of time and creating by-laws was totally ignored. I'm sure there are others.
My point is, if this is going to be a "democracy" then everyone should have an equal voice without fear of being ignored, or worse, bashed, for stating their position on certain things. I understand it will be a majority rules when all is said and done. But all opinions should be given their due regard.
*EDIT* I see that Ray has in fact responded to atronite's post. Thanks Ray!
