1) Men must learn to think with their heads rather than with their (generally useless) genitals
2) Women must lead lives based more on their intellects and less on their (always valuable) hearts
3) Never use violence and intolerance unless combating violence and intolerance
4) Morality exists only in behavior and never in thoughts or words
5) Women are always equal – when in doubt, even more so.
6) Freedom and democracy are both rights and unremitting responsibilities.
7) All politics and religion should be practiced in the service of each individual, in each human manifestation of God.
No institution or belief should take precedence over any one person, life, or soul.
9) No path to God or to happiness is exclusive or worthy of domination over any other
10) Any person or group who seeks to dominate, control, subvert or destroy any other person or group does not deserve membership in the free world.
In these uncertain and consequential times, I humbly suggest that we put aside our penchant for iPods and immediate gratification and consider my 10 new COMMANDMENTS above.
