[Sca-cooks] Re: Food-related Meta-Issue

[grizly]

We have come full circle to why we do what we do. while there are many valid
arguments for change, it all probably comes down to the fact that any system
employed will invariably generate Crowns with good and bad aspects.  Maybe
you will get a different demographic cross-section filling the chairs . . .
but lousy along with spectacular.  Operating a constitutional Monacrchy
within a Constitutional Republic is confusing business (especially when many
don't realize both of these forms of government), especially when we all
have to go back to work on Monday morning and earn a living.

Make up a good proposal, pitch it to people and get a grass-roots support
for it.  You could be the one who plants the seed of change.  No one appears
to have been terribly successful to date in pleading their case and positing
a good, appealing case with pros that outweigh the cons.  Ya might even find
some people to help build the case.  Sure, there will be traditional and
social inertia to overcome . . . part of the experience of launching
sweeping social reform in modern or medieval society.  Don't go sticking
daggers in cathedral doors these days though.  911 commission and all.

We pick and choose what we wish to re-create.  There is no 'period
system'.  Remember, you're talking about dozens of cultures over nearly
1,000 years.  The time-period was definitely not monolithic:  There were
good and bad (you define) aspects to each and every crown.
