Which of these beliefs to you practise in every day life? Are you a single parent? Are you in favour of defunding the police and live in a high crime neighbourh

  All four: (households) I support a society where —as in the US of the last century in which I grew up— a single working parent suffices to support a household. (religion) I support a society which has its own intrinsic solidarity, without needing the sort of middlemen who "love to pray standing ... in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men." (success) I support a society where a good education —in trades as well as professions— is available even to those who have been so unwise as to pick the wrong parents. (racism) I support a society where, sure, there's always some ethnicity on the bottom rungs, but at least it changes every generation as the old bottom rungs assimilate. (Over the last half century it's been, in turn, italians, turks, former yugoslavs, former warsaw pact, and now I guess north africans?) Fortunately we don't have "high crime neighbourhoods" in the US sense — I think there are several obvious reasons why not, but implementing them in the US would require not only structural changes, but probably also constitutional amendment. (having seen what happened to the ERA in the Old Country, I'm not holding my breath)
