Getting to fundamentals

Due to some personal concerns, I have not been able to write as much as usual, including on the topic of the riots in France, which have not yet spread to the town where I live in the western region, but which are indeed a matter of concern.

I have finally posted something that has been gestating for over a week on something that is more fundamental, something that underlies both the riots and the reactions to them.

Something I hope provokes at least some thought.
