She’s not wrong. My only problem with her is her somewhat militant atheism. But, in only takes her a few paragraphs to totally destroy the concept of the common good.

"The common good," "the greater good," "the collective good," and "the greatest good of the greatest number" are all disasters as political and socio-economic ideals, in my view! Very wrong in theory and practice.

Society and civilization needs to respect and serve only one thing: the Sacred Self and the Holy Individual. And the way we do that is via "the individual good." Once you champion, uphold, save, preserve, protect, defend, etc. the untouchable, invaluable, god-like Individual -- you maximally benefit every person on this earth!!! :-)
