One of these was directly covered by Sacks. What he's missing however is that it takes someone who is ultimately disciplined to instill those rules in the first place. But in my mind, the only universal truth that exists for man is that we cannot exist without each other.

There are living examples of those who have done perfectly well with nothing other than other people as their focus-->Look to the east.-You have made excellent points, but your statistics re prison don't work. I said that the humanists I know are exemplary in their ethics. Of course their number will be fewer in prison. The problem is atheists talk a good game but they don't go out and teach as the religions do. Your other point that it takes discipline is very true, and parents today are of the 'whatever' generation.
