Klaus: Don't get too excited! I'm not abandoning my position at all as you
will see from my response to Kev Hilton. Social determinism is the problem
not the solution. It is the individual, thoughtful participant with a sense
of themselves that can contribute to social consensus in a meaningful way.
Check out the New Yorker article cited in my last post.
Although the interests of stakeholders need to be respected they need to
listen and often don't. Chuck
