You Are In Charge

We were just over at The World According to Tish, where she was posed 5 questions (asked by Genuine). The queries were all inane, but Tish answered the questions graciously and appropriately.

That got us to thinking- and now, we want to pose a three part question for your consideration.

You are in the last group of 100 people on earth and for the forseeable future, you must believe that your actions will determine whether or not our species survives.

What 3 books would you consider essential to have with you, to learn from and teach from, and to pass on?

What form of government would you hope to establish, and why?

Would severe infractions that put the group in danger ever be dealt with by capital punishment? If so, for what infractions?

There are no right/wrong answers.

Our purpose in asking these questions is straightforward. We live in a fractious society, and our culture has, in many ways replaced cooperation and accomodation with singlemindedness and division.

Would we be able to survive?
