Refer to Johann Gottfried von Herder on the importance of the local: specific to a place and time which includes language, law and custom. Not all Sturm und Drang. Einfühlung (empathy) as a volk feeling. "What of us lies in the hearts of others is our truest and deepest self."

(built on a foundation of human slavery, a too familiar fate. but why is that relevant now? science changes by being objective now. who funds Duke now?)
Dan Simons, Selective Attention, University of Illinois, land grant college
(built long, long ago on stolen Native American lands. ask Honest "free soil, free [white] labor" Abe. how many Native Americans are there today? any blindness there, friends? but science today has professional, self-regulating ethics. more than financial or political -- much stronger -- institutions? we're honest. trust us. what, me worry?

Postscript
Some time when the river is ice
ask me mistakes I have made.
Ask me whether what I have done is my life.
Others have come in their slow way into my thought,
and some have tried to help or to hurt;
ask me what difference their strongest love or hate had made.
I will listen to what you say.
You and I can turn and look at the silent river and wait.
We know the current is there, hidden;
and there are comings and goings from miles away that hold
the stillness exactly before us.
What the river says, that is what I say.
-- William Stafford

mit all this talk about ecology, green this-and-that and sufficiency...where's the uber mensch or uber Frau?
shall Attila the None (Attila die Nien) wake from history and rampage peacefully? Or Frau Greta the Great and very Gerade.
Why not Attila the Freund? 2 squishy and 21st century and glossy?
