I think I can agree with your viewpoint almost exactly, except for the
"premise" of the "Brotherhood of man."  It is not, I do not think, a
premise, but a fact of existence, and it is not a "Brotherhood of man"
but an inter-connectedness of all life (not only human) with all other
life.

What do *you* think about that?
