A Social Experiment

I came up with a concept whilst watching the morning news.

We set up two towns – equal resources, equal population base, equal climate, etc. The only difference is one is a completely secular state and the other a theocracy. Let them set and grow for about fifty years and see who comes out better. That way we clearly see who’s right and finally put the science into political science.

The reason I bring this up is we are tearing ourselves apart living together. Another civil war is due in this country, and I foresee the lines being drawn the same way there were the first time around, though the subject changed to faith issues. So maybe we can hold it off a bit till after we see what works and what doesn’t, and till after I’m dead.

This is not without precedent mind you. Back in the 1800s, there was a town in the northwest that tried out a strict French Utopian Socialistic state. Needless to say the experiment failed and is why we don’t talk much of French Utopian Socialism… or the town for that matter.
