Science, then, can provide us with a set of values — not findings — for how to run our lives, and that includes our social and political lives.

No thanks. I'd rather go with the first 100 names in the Boston telephone book.

We need to be careful who we are in common with.

I have found that most people have a sense that is in common with some group or another.
