Professor C. Northcote Parkinson has pointed out in one of his delightful satires that the quickest way to get rid of an inconvenient superior is to make a world traveler out of him.

Americans today are divided over two different views of humanity. One group insists that the family, headed by a man and a woman, is the primary unit in society, the family's freedom from state coercion is a primary imperative, and heterosexual love is a sacred experience. The meaning network for this group links human specialness, heterosexuality, Christianity, family, and patriarchy in a coherent and meaningful structure. The second group sees the individual as the primary unit, personal achievement as salvation, sex as a natural, not a sacred, experience, and rationality based on science as the basis for decisions. The meaning network for this group combines the individual, rationality, achievement, sexual pleasure, egalitarianism, and science.
