Near Fine In Near Fine Price Clipped Dust Jacket. Discussion Is Excellent But Absent Any Systematic Vision About The Need To Achieve Widespread Consensus About Minimal Standards Of Individual Responsibility And Freedom, Socially Acceptable Behavior, The Proper Roles Of Government, And The Nature Of Evil, These Essays, However Articulate And Sophisticated, Remain Individual Opinions, A Small Number In A Sea Of Countless Such Opinions In The Past And Present. On Our Planet, Interpersonal Violence, Mass Murder, Systematic Theft, Corruption And Looting, Rape, Ecocide, Genocide, War Crimes, All Manner Of Despicable Acts And Unbelievable And Unforgivable Stupidity Remain The Norm, Not The Exception. The First Question Is, How Do These Occur, Not "How We Should Be Better"; It's Like Trying To Stop The Orks With Financial Sanctions: Most Of The Audience Doesn't Care Until You Get Their Attention By Understanding The Problems And Then Suggesting Realistic Solutions Better Than They Can.
