Again, you avoid the question. You are avoiding the question of the practical consequences of what you are advocating. It's a very interesting theory, but you can't explain how it would operate in practice.

I think a proposed "solution" that doesn't deal with modern problems isn't a solution. If you can't explain how your proposed solution will affect the problems of now, you need to work on your theory a bit more.

Ah, the cultural nationalist. The problem with this theory is you can choose to call yourself whatever you want right now. If you want to call yourself a Koalian, you certainly can. Just check "other" in that Census box, chief.
