Thanks for the ping, 8mm. Well-written philosophy is red meat and fine wine. Paul Johnson's book, The Intellectuals, is similarly a resource in these questions. These secular "saviors" are usually the worst sort of bullies, crooks, wife beaters and fruitcakes in their private lives.

We once lived close to the Thinker's Lodge. It was established by Cyrus Eaton, Sir Bertrand Russell, inter alia and a number of hard core communists from the USSR. Their efforts won the Nobel Peace Prize, the Lenin Peace Prize, and according to Eaton, he commenced the concept of detente. Globalism was alive and well even back then.

They have a nice park and pavillion near the water and the Thinkers house sits on a point facing the water. Their balony posted was getting washed away regularly as heavy seas battered their feeble attempts to hold back erosion with granite slabs. As I recall, raw sewage also ran beneath from nearby houses to the water. Maybe it is more environment friendly now.....
