Good article, good editorial picks. Interesting dichotomy of positions on the vital issue of survival.
I remember my first sociology course. We were taught the the purpose-reason-GOAL of a society is to provide for the continuing safety and survival of the society-clan-tribe-nation--that is its members, their food, shelter, and birth to death rituals.
Some call that socialism and communism--the roots of which mean society and community, communication, and other idealistic, non practical forgotten concepts.
Oh, and to depend on "government" within the current concept of power--he who owns the capital gets to choose the ruler-- is a caution.
