Well, FooZe, they certainly did bring a lot of experience, and they certainly also had given a lot of very intelligent thought to what they were saying and proposing. Have you ever seen their philosophy in action? I haven't, so I don't know. I'm entirely in favor of the spirit of what they suggest. I just wonder whether it could be put into practice without creating an elite who really run things, although that of course would be entirely against the spirit of their proposals.

I would be very interested to know about where and with what success such ideas have been used in reality. I think that our society, at least, is so saturated in ideas of authority and hierarchy that there would be many, many people (a very significant percentage, if not a majority) who just "wouldn't get it." And they do note expressly the particular problem of any such group with their ideas interfacing (in a hospital for example) with any traditional structures. I don't know. I doubt that in my lifetime I'll ever have the opportunity to join such a community. Take care!
