Returning to a free market system with chivalry and legal duels would lower crime rates and increase respect among people.

And the answer is no, get rid of it and get back to truly transparent free market systems that are so successful and so wealth generating, they do create unbelievable opulence and civilization and spoiled rottenness. But if you remove the spoiled rottenness and bring back chivalry to a free market, and that means if you want to fight a man... Or you want to go out in the street and shoot each other, it's legal to do so. I've studied history. We have to return total free market, but also chivalry. The gang thugs won't be acting tough in the streets anymore because if they mess with a family, you can demand satisfaction and then their leader has to come out in the street with you by sword or by gun. I mean, you go, oh, that's backward. No, that's not backward. That's what built civilization. That's why people were very, very polite. You go to places like Spain or Italy, Where just 150 years ago, you smart-mouthed somebody, they'd call you out in the street? I mean, you think the American West was the only place where guys would go out in the street and shoot each other? That's what duels come from. That's where all of this originates from. Many of our founding fathers killed people in duels. But their crime rate was much lower overall. Most people were very, very respectful. Because if you were going to shoot your mouth off, you're going to have to make good on that check.
