JW: Well said. It’s worth remembering that France’s "Declaration of the Rights of Man"was inspired by the US’s founding documents.

After all, I live in and am a citizen of what is known as a liberal democracy. It is that because it was founded on principles of The Enlightenment which are said to be secularism, reason, social juistice, tolerance . The Constitution , its Preamble, and the Declaration of Independance codifiy them. The Revolution, the Civl War, the Civil Rights Movement, the Equal Rights Amendment (which I think has still not been ratified) represent our moral commitmenmt. And confrom our liberal values. So any American loyal and committed to those values is just a middle of the road American, a centrist. What exactly then is a crazy leftist ? > > JW > ______________ Gstalt-L is an independent eCommunity of people interested in gestalt therapy theory and its various applications.
