Well Claus,

I am a bad universalist and try to be a good socialist. As a species-being 
my first concern is with my fellows. i like things like the clearance of 
mines from the Vietnam War, because this sort of retrogade disamaestic 
solidarity probably maims and kills a lot of our species-being as well as 
our friends in the animal and plant kingdoms.
