Collective responsibility
without personal freedom -or
without liberty- is tyranny.
It’s totalitarianism. That’s
something we should fear always.
But conversely, personal freedom
and personal liberty without
collective responsibility
-without a shared sense that you
are part of society and that you
owe it to society to participate
fully- and to seek utilitarian
solutionstosociety’sproblems...
That’s just selfish. That’s just
bad citizenship. That’s a recipe
for a second-rate society.

![(Alvarez, 2009, p. 70-71)
This is America.
And to the extent that its
institutions manage to exclude
or diminish its people, they will
nonetheless find a way to play.
[…]
The Snotboogies of the world may
be comical and doomed and they
are often dangerous.
But as citizens of a parallel world
under the same Stars and Stripes
as the legitimate America, they
must be allowed to play.
