I particularly like your point, Jim, about Environment being "front & centre". It could & should be an important check on excessess in the other 'pillars'. But I also wonder if 'pillars' is the proper term to use. They sound more like 'goals' to me. Three pillars should be enough to really stablize any policy. But one should be our overall objective: world-wide peace & justice. One should be the resources involved: our planet & the life upon it. And one should be our method: respect for & encouragement of responsible self-directed behaviour directed toward peace & justice.
