1) Man is inseparable from all of creation. We are not separate nor superior to any other part of creation.
2) People in other countries have character, are intelligent, have motivation, are patriotic. They see no reason to knuckle under or roll over for whatever America wants.
3) Our children are as smart and as motivated as we ever were. Each generation simply forgets what it was like to be young. It's not that our experience makes us wiser as we grow older, it's that our hormone levels change.
4) The advancement of civilization is collaborative and collective. Every individual has an equal share in this common heritage.
5) There is no free lunch. Capitalism has its costs and we all should share equally in bearing those costs.
