Hey, I was looking at the changes you made to Amitai Etzioni. You say he is a 'Fabian'. I guess you're referring to someone from the Fabian Society, that wasn't very clear to me. Also your sentence 'Brought up on a Kibbutz, saw the world from a Kibbutz, saw the world as a Kibbutz, wants the world to be a Kibbutz and is now instrumental in engineering the world into a Kibbutz.' might be a little over the top.

Also what you wrote in the communitarianism article "...while appearing to simultaneously affirm communal rights and individual responsibilities while actually restricting individual freedom and enabling big business to become more powerful. Herelded as a political guru, Amitai Etzioni influences American politics by being a chief adviser to both the democrats and the republicans." also seems very biased.

You don't like the guy, that's fine, but remember that wikipedia should be written in a Neutral point of view. Anyway, I'll leave it as is for now but probably I'll edit it in a few days or so. Jacoplane 15:22, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Forgive the exuberance of a Wiki novice. Have changed 'kibbutz' sentence. You're right, it did look out of place. Hope new version more acceptable. Information to validate my assertions is all available on the amitai-notes blog. Have removed 'Fabian' comment until I can relocate pages where I found info. Guru comment on communitarian page was out of place and will be relocated to Amitai page when I rediscover supporting links. Have reinserted Aristotolian logic comment to communitarian site. If you disagree, show me the proof.Arturodekko 14:08, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I deleted mention of Aristotle for now while I look for evidence. If I find any, I will write it in as a mini-section, with passages from his writings, etc... . I hope this is acceptable for now. The talk page for the Communitarianism article is the best place to discuss this. Juan Ponderas 17:53, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
