One criticism of Saint-Simon. The foundational principle is "Love one another as I [Jesus] have loved you." The second one is The Golden Rule and the tertiary one is loving your enemies. "Loving one another as brothers" is insufficient, since some of us hate our brothers (not me, of course). -- Ernie P. -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org
