    Marc,

    I have some respect for a few institutions that "preach" social justice. Earlham seems to be a good program. It is NOT a military school, but the live what they preach and they are pretty open about it. Yes they are basically (though not always) pacifists.

    See that is the problem with putting people in boxes. They have a tendency to jump out of them when you least expect it.

    Naomi,
    Sorry about the "social justice"threadjack...

    Actually, what I was getting at...

    A segment of American society works for the good of others, practicing self-sacrifice in material benefits, personal recognition, and personal physical safety. They embody the Marxian concept of "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs". They receive both the benefits and drawbacks of socialized medicine. For the most part, they believe in a common cause, and the betterment of the nation and the world. The desparity of wealth between the most and least affluent of this segment is much narrower than the United States as a whole.

    Holy crap. The military is Communist.
