a little less than utopia, but it's a start:
tolerance, sustainability, freedom and responsibility
|
Utopia. Even the conception
of this noble ideal fails to hold up against careful examination. But
if all we can do is say a few good words that offer hope for tomorrow,
I'll say them here.
Tolerance: As the boundaries of nation states blur
during this great
period of globalization, celebrate similarities with and tolerate
differences among our brothers and sisters around the world.
Sustainability: Our planet has finite resources
and we need to
acknowledge that what we take today won't be here tomorrow.
Cooperation, not competition, is today's standard for social conduct.
Freedom: Freedom means more than free markets. In
addition to
government by consent, freedom means freedom of conscience and security
of person. See The
rights of man and other bills of
rights
from the Age
of Enlightenment.
Responsibility: Responsibility means more than
freedom. Responsibility is an active participation in society based on
the social
contract of John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
