For those who believe in a loving God who creates each of us and who does nothing without reason, the process should begin with a series of statements reflecting principles by which we must live if we are to create a society in which it is worthwhile to live. This is probably true because without these complementary qualities, people could not easily live together in complex interrelationships in an ordered, therefore peaceful and functioning, society.
Man is imperfect and imperfectible.
With perhaps only slight adjustments, anyone of good will can fully support these five statements, even nonbelievers. However, those who believe in the perfectibility of man are hopeless. After accepting these principles, we must then consider better alternatives for the underclass that won't impoverish everyone. Immediately we can eliminate socialism from consideration. The dole, or however else one wishes to describe programs that provide funds for food, clothing and shelter to able-bodied persons, promotes antisocial behavior.
