You seem to be turning a blind eye and deaf ear on what CJ said, and my criticism of it. Look again at the bits I bolded and underlined. Beware of calls for something NEW, for something "wildly unprecedented." Instead, we ought to revive the timeless principles and truths, and get back into the habit of obeying conscience and the laws and principles that arise from conscience consciousness. We are in trouble not so much because of what we have done, but far more so for what we've failed to do, and for those laws and principles which we chucked out of selfishness, fear and vanity. I know CJ does good work, and I know her heart is in the right place. But when she says the things like what I bolded and underlined, she is only encouraging those ideologues who seek to radically overthrow the good with the bad (and in many cases want to foist 'new' ideas that are indeed really, really bad!). The answers to the question "where did we go wrong" will be more to do with the principles we abandoned. turtleman
