John > So what do you pick? A society the favors individual freedom (and no broad, commonly accepted societal values) or one that tends toward conformity but with clear values. None of the above. The values I am talking about are fundamental honesty, decency, integrity, humanity, concern for the environment, thrift, appreciation of what one has and, possibly, most of all, peace. When one has a government that lies to its people and the world, violates international laws and agreements, feels a buck is more important than someone else's life and uses the Bible to justify every kind of illegal activity, then I would say that those are the values I do not like.
