Of course technically they weren't criminals since they created the laws.

But I wouldn't view Napoleon and Julius Caesar as Conscious and Aware individuals. See here for a good definition of Conscious and Aware. Napoleon and Julius were master tactitians, and no doubt very intelligent, and driven, but their actions don't demonstrate a whole lot of empathy and compassion.

It's not necessarily a problem, but any sort of paternal rulership is redundant when you're dealing with a community of responsible adults.

Very true. This forum is similar in basic concept (get a whole bunch of conscious people together so they can help each other grow) but it's politically quite different to the sort of society I'm talking about. As the forum is open to less-than-fully-conscious people like me, some rules are probably necessary at this point.

P.S. See this post for an example of a Conscious and Aware state of mind. Can you really envision a lot of criminals in a society where people feel like that?
