When trying to promote a peaceful co-existence of different ideologies would it be more useful to draw similarities between the people holding those ideologies? Should we talk about denizens rather than citizens; should we strive for global goals, rather than national ones?
Clark speaks about citizens, first amendment, democracy, congress, and so on. He is sort of suggesting that this peaceful co-existence is likely to happen in America, or that it could only happen in America. I am of the opinion that if we truly desire to have a peaceful co-existence between naturalist and supernaturalists, we should probably also seek the peaceful co-existence between 'nations.' I personally think that this can be best achieved by getting rid of the concept of nation and recognizing our unity as denizens of the world. Recognizing that we are all on this lovely planet together will allow us to better decide upon decisions that would be best for all of us rather than best for a single or few nations.
