Reader comments about this quote:

Way to much else needs be said here to give a relevant rating. The focus is on what aspect of "modern society" (what society)? — What division of labor? (define labor) "Peace" needs here be defined with the conditions thereof. Etc., etc., etc. -- Mike, Norwalk

I agree with both Ron and E Archer. -- Mary, MI
