The democratic and socialist commonwealth which I advocate favors every individual
person working as they are able and receiving as they have need.  This is the material
foundation, not the pinnacle of what I advocate. If people's essential material needs
are well supplied, then that is an improvement over what capitalism can achieve.

I do not advocate a commonwealth that would restrict human beings from producing
and enjoying more than what they essentially need. I believe in a moderation of desires,
for the good of the individual, the community, and the natural environment.





"Faith is not a formula which is agreed to if the weight of evidence favors it."
-- Walter Lippmann





Bureaucratic and authoritarian communism is not what I advocate.





The value of a person is not measured by those calculations, evaluations, quantifications,
and determinations which are appropriate to profiteering capitalism.





There is starting a business, and there is growing a business.  But, every business
that has been started has a natural tendency to either grow, or die.  According to
Henry Demarest Lloyd, an American economist and writer, "Monopoly is business at
the end of its journey".





"The multitude which is not brought to act as unity, is confusion. That unity which has
not its origin in the multitude is tyranny."
-- Blaise Pascal
