Instead he sacrificed himself for the good of the many by choice and with free will.įor me I would examine this quote and come up with the following extrapulaitons.
#The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few movie#
In this movie Spock who has power (second in command on the ship) could have ordered someone to save the ship (applied force). I say both are wrong if taken in the context of the movie. I have also heard many who love liberty say that this quote is socialist. I have heard those who seek government solutions use this quote to defend government. Such as this famous Star Trek quote below, the entire quote is “the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one”. The reality is both those that want a free society and those who seek a socialist solution can often find a totally different meaning in the same words. To me it is difficult to understand how someone can both understand how bad government really is and yet still turn to government for a solution. He then said government needed to do more for us and that Obama was waiting on the people to give him direction. Then turned around and talked about what was good in it, he called them crumbs but said at least we got that. He did a good job in pointing out how bad it was. I listened to one presenter bash the Food Safety and Modernization Act for the mess that it is.
Yet as always when many gather in the name of Permaculture at least a few will gather that seek solutions from government rather than from ourselves. I am really enjoying my time at PermacultureVoices and the people here are mostly entrepreneurial minded doers. I would like to have water in the future, like I assume most readers would, and we are getting to the point where hard decisions are going to be made for the future of our planet, and they may come with some user fees.I find it interesting at times that people can both use the same words to make entirely different points. I don’t like paying taxes any more than the next person, but I do like health care, roads, clean water, a fire department and many other services we all use when needed. Sometimes we need to bite the bullet, or hold our noses and pay. However, we need to understand not every decision is going to go our way, this doesn’t make politics or local governance a pointless endeavour. Otherwise, you are simply yelling into the wind. While we appreciate reader input, next time you go to write a comment, if you want to have an actual impact, instead email town staff to work to create an effective solution or find the answers you seek. How we do that? I’m not sure.Īs the town enters budget talks, people are quick to rush to Facebook to complain about a particular pothole or issue. We, and I’m including myself here, need to start looking past political dichotomies as the challenges we face together become seemingly more daunting.
The greater good in general is a “tough sell.” It is analogous to climate change, or any other existential threat that requires large numbers of people working together. I do not blame those who see something like universal water metering as a personal attack on their finances, but we all have to make sacrifices towards the idea of the greater good.
Brian Harvey pointed out, in Osoyoos this is a “tough sell,” to taxpayers who are calling it a “cash grab” among other things. It is crucial for conservation and keeping tabs on, and improving, water usage. Mayor McKortoff pointed out that Osoyoos is one of the few municipalities that doesn’t have universal metering in the area. To put it simply, the town is aiming to put water meters on over 90 per cent of water users so usage can be fairly and accurately accounted for.Īlmost all council members and staff agreed it was a no-brainer.
