Yes, this PoV -- of being a member of a species rather than a religion,
ethnicity or nationality -- is essential. And I think that it must be
created. Trends in the world today are working against it, but I am
optimistic that it can be reversed. The question is: how do we start? And,
who chooses to participate in such an initiative?
Best regards,
Lawry
