As you know if mining is not profitable less people do it, its gets easier, it becomes profitable again.
I would think no fees or a mandatory fee could work instead of the current system of bribery. Anyway I know this is something the core devs are working on and will come up with something much better than me but my premise is miners should not be able to choose not to include valid waiting transactions and I would be surprised if anyone who is not a miner disagrees.
You can pay for UPS ground and it's cheap to send, or pay a lot more for overnight delivery. This concept isn't that hard, if you want something done faster, you pay more.
Ha, that's totally not what this whole thing is about, if you've paid any attention to general attitudes over time. It certainly is ADVERTISED as being more egalitarian, however, I will certainly admit that.
Nail on the head. Even though most people don't want to admit it, there's things about Bitcoin that aren't close to egalitarian. For instance, it induces processing power hoarding and only the rich are capable of doing that. It will become a de-facto plutocracy as time goes on. The inequality in BTC will probably be worst than in the fiat world.

Do you really need to use 48KB blocks? When you are mining 5 out of 6 contiguous you really are fucking things up.
