This is to notify everyone that Kitty has written and had published on
OpEdNews.com, http://tinyurl.com/dlzbug , an excellent article with
the above title. When informed of the article, Tom Knapp, editor of
RRND (Rational Review News Digest), replied that it was FANTASTIC and
stated that it would be headlined in Monday's edition of RRND.
Although we will also be placing this in the focus section of SelfSIP
within the next few days, I decided that this message should be a
special notice at this time because comments are only allowed at
OpEdNews for a limited time after an item appears.

This article has come about because Kitty has thoroughly understood
and integrated the ideas of the Self Sovereign Individual Project,
particularly from the essay introducing the concept of Social
Meta-Needs with it twin implementations through Social Preferencing
and the Natural Social Contract. I was particularly pleased that the
piece also required very little editing from me. Of course it greatly
helps that she was a part of the discovery and development of those
ideas, but such deep understanding and full integration is certainly
not beyond the powers of many others.

We both look forward to a time when many more people (first a few,
then dozens and finally hundreds! :-) have accomplished this deep
understanding and full integration and are presenting their own unique
and persuasive examples and interpretations of these novel and
profound social ideas in practical human social action.

[The RRND commentary webpage currently has my article at the top of
its list - http://www.rationalreview.com/news#commentary :>)

As I wrote Tom when I sent him notice of the article's publication, I
purposely submitted this article, Tax/Regulation Protests are Not
Enough at OpEdNews.com because it is a "progressive" news site and
while many there have some of the wrong ideas of how to get to and
even in some ways what constitutes a better society, it is clear that
all writers and commenters there really do want one. I think that
there can be inroads made by reaching out beyond the "choir" with this
view of those who do not currently hold some of the same views by
finding some foundational common points. I am pleased that the
managing editor, after rereading and reconsidering, moved my
submission from a diary entry to which she had downgraded it, to a
headlined article. **Kitty]
