\"You can live under any political system you like without leaving your driveway. Instead of joining a party, you join a political association and agree to live under its auspices---rules that track with your sense of the right and the good. A real "social contract." The only cost of this quantum leap forward is this: You cannot force anyone to join your chosen association.\
\
So, would you do it? If not, why not?\"\
