This is the old unity and diversity issue. Oz Guiness wrote what is more real? A particular dog, or a concept of "dogginess" (e.g., how do we know a chihuahua is related to a mastiff?) Truth is, it is really hard to tell which is more real.

But I think there was so much evil 100 years ago, starting with the Flexner Report, which you undoubtedly know all about... followed by the Federal Reserve, taxes and then WWI (and perhaps preceded by the Spanish American war) , which even Churchill said the US should have kept out of.

I don't know the answer; but I do know that the horrible fraud Margaret Mead (Coming of Age in Samoa was a complete fraud) had perhaps one thing right in her life; "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
