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.
