Dickins I. INTRODUCTION Our world is replete with varied societies, each with its own philosophies, conventions, traditions, and institutions. Each society, each culture proclaims its individuality, its differences, its distinctiveness, and concocts devices, legal or otherwise, to ensure they will last forever. Therein lies the seeds of intolerance. Mankind must come to realize that each individual is not a limited member of some isolated and narrowly defined group but rather a member of the people of the planet earth. Our varied cultures, religions and racial groups evolved millenniums ago, in closed, isolated and distant geographic areas on the planet. Each isolated group responded in its own way to the mystical worldly wonders of their environment. Our current knowledge of the universe and its workings is neither perfect nor complete, but it is more than adequate to provide a willing mankind with an escape from the intolerance and barbarism that has poisoned and continues to poison our social behavior.
